"Sari Dale's Para-Social Butterfly tells us early on that 'Glamour is a machine.' These mechanics of the present whirl through the forms of the inventive and refreshing poems in this collection: they're complicated, incredible. Sari Dale catalogs the repertoire of the contemporary moment, its never-ending scroll of talking filters, niche celebrities, and crypto-graphics. From talking heads in the feed to embodying the online iPhone persona that without which we simply would disappear forever, Para-Social Butterfly holds up a mirror to our faces, then dares us to have a good time. I loved reading this book. Loved it!" - BEN FAMA, author of Death Wish (Newest York Arts Press) and Fantasy (Ugly Duckling) "Para-Social Butterfly is a brilliant dive into the mind's eye of what it means to exist between Cheugy cringe, pop-up ads, luxury, technophiles, and a search for influence. Sari Dale writes poems in a hyper-real voice with a delicate and sensitive beauty that brings us swiftly back into our bodies. We are on our phones buying things we can't afford while we strip to tan. We are longing for the pastoral vintage look we see in photos online. This book is investigating the result of nihilism and hope when mixed. Sari Dale is so much smarter than most of us - she just gets it." - LAURA MARIE MARCIANO, author of Mall Brat (Civil Coping Mechanisms)
