White Girl Problems

by John Dorsey

NightBallet Press publisher Dianne Borsenik says:

White Girl Problems, a 36 page chap of poetry and short stories by the one and only John Dorsey, features a stunning cover photo by Chandra Alderman, and a great bio photo by Casey Rearick (who has a talent for capturing delightful and insightful pix of fellow poets and local scenes).

White Girl Problems features a mix of provocative poetry and short fiction, with stories told the way only John Dorsey can tell them. You won't want to miss out on his tribute poems to Scott Wannberg and Kell Robertson. And I promise: you'll not be able to put this book down until you finish the stories about Felix Pepperdine's exploits. This book rocks with a blend of sex, wistfulness, humor, irony, and tender beauty.

36 pages, chapbook

Dorsey gets better & better. Swear he wrings tears of joy & discovery out of a keyboard.
