"Sings and slangs the tattered glories of tranny life and how we live it." -imogen smith, author of stemmy things
"A roaring good time." -Alexander MacLeod, author of Light Lifting
Tweaking working-class colloquialisms into new forms of elegy and song, Gwen Aube's hilarious and uncompromising poems chronicle a precarious, debaucherous carnival of trailer-trash divas and Discord autistics, living and delighting in survival at the edges of technocapital.
Like a digital-age Wanda Coleman, like a transsexual Kevin Killian, like Elizabeth Smart infused with Sybil Lamb, Missed Connections with Tall Girls establishes Aube as a brash and unstoppable singular voice for a monstrous new world.
