Spitshine Cover

Spitshine by Anne Marie Rooney (MFA ’11)

In this debut collection, Anne Marie Rooney subverts traditional forms into strange and sexy new shapes. With poems as scary as they are seductive, Rooney reveals the domestic to be a rich, dirty burlesque: two princesses fall in love; fetish is explored through the shackles of sestina; a poet indexes, in stops and starts, her own obsessions.
