Böcker av Cathleen Allyn Conway

Bloofer by Cathleen Allyn Conway is an intoxicating mix of the playful macabre and elements of dark academia. Conway's illicit obsessions creep through like the full moon on a cloudy night: Bram Stoker, Plath in thrall to the occult, dark alleyways and haunted libraries. Bloofer hides "razorblades between the pages" that give a keen edge to this thrilling and mischievous collection of poems that disarm you with humour before they bite you.

Cathleen Allyn Conway's American Ingénue is a pamphlet of found poems cut from Bret Easton Ellis novels and Francine Pascal's Sweet Valley High series. Conway transforms her unlikely source material into giddy, irreverent and violent episodes which centre around a 'damaged party girl' wandering 'the wreckage of New York'. American Ingénue is a dazzling and delightful pamphlet which takes the found poem to new, vertiginous heights.
