Odalisque is the first chapbook in the 2014 series from Bloof Books; released as a PDF in March 2014.
Excerpt:
"Forever is the saddest word
The poem’s not worth it
I’d like to read to you
What Andy Warhol said
About the traps of the rich
But my tastes are changing
This is a love note
To a Fire Island lifeguard
Tuscano shearling
And mauve champagne
I should never talk
Even after two sips
Though that’s when I can
I hate the George V hotel
But I would take you there
Then walk to the open market
Some thoughts are not that great
The Internet is my home
Where it’s easy to be beautiful
And seen and new
In the glow
In the spell"
—from "Fantasy"
