8) Agony
Author
Description
Agony is the first in a trilogy of long confessional poems. It uses semi-rigorous mathematical and logical constraints to view the author's life and body, telescopically, as little bits of time and space. Everything written here is as true as possible – that is to say, pretty true. It attempts autobiography as a refutation of autobiography, and an elevation of the self as self-effacement. Love pops up as a theme quite a bit. So does self-mutilation,...

14) Dirty Pure
Author
Description
Dirty Pure' is an illustrated poetic memoir. Strangely compelling, the overly loquacious stream of neurosis takes the reader on a boat ride to crazy town where one is confronted by anxious ultra-analysed, near-issues that border on full blown psychosis before being blindsided somehow by the bizarrely captivating doodles drawn by the poet himself. It's so weird and abstract and yet addictive.

She named the work...His Daughter's Treasures. She...
