Poetry bursting with intimacy and giddy charm.
In a tonal mash-up of Jenny Holzer’s
Truisms
, confessional poetry, and fortune telling,
Self-Romancing
draws you into the amorous and obsessive inner life of an unnamed romantic. Relatable and snarky, heartfelt and horny, L Scully fortifies irony with vulnerability, bringing readers into a narrative as intimate as slumber parties and ordinary as Trader Joe’s. Bursting with the giddy charm of the everyday,
plays with form, turning a book into a crush, a crank call, a manifesto.
