Sexy, irreverent, and inventive Lovesick Stormtroopers, dowsing Girl
Guides, movie stars, pool hustlers, and the mad queen Ranavalona ...
With Knife Throwing Through Self-Hypnosis, Robin Richardson charts a
path through a surreal otherworld that is at once carnal and aerial,
fine-grained and crude. Yearning, unapologetic women who delight in the
monsters they've created make these poems "a shield made of braids, /
bassinet of broadswords," and "a ghost-like choir where a love affair /
becomes a pulp-book, plotted perfectly to end."
