The
Gurlesque
Anthology
“A daring, juicy read that bodes well for a new popular feminist poetics."
— Ms. Magazine
"An anthology full of brash invention and linguistic verve."
— Boston Review
“Think theory in fishnets, think beyond camp, think cute with claws, Plath with humor, passivity without pathos, think pink with a gun. Gurlesque is a sensibility and a style, a walking panic attack, a threat and a promise."
— Jack Halberstam
