Who Is Trixie Trasher? And Other Questions by Jane Miller

Condition: good
Copper Canyon Press, 2018

"

n her eleventh collection, Jane Miller illuminates a dark era with humor, formal interrogation, and tenderness. Who Is Trixie the Trasher? and Other Questions is a hyper-political and yet personal collection. Here Miller’s signature lyric voice is charged with a new sense of urgency as poems run—sprint—through headlines and futuristic visions, towards desire and refusal, empathy and accountability. Intimate language addresses our collective trauma—especially, but not exclusively, as experienced by women—where human dignity collides with the reality of power and privilege. Beginning with the collection’s title, Who Is Trixie the Trasher? delivers a relentless litany of questions and juxtapositions, some answerable and some slippery as riddles. What becomes of the female body as time goes by? What is poetry for in the face of fascism? How is it that love shows up, anyway?"
