The Book of Faces: Poems

by Joseph Campana

In Joseph Campana's debut collection, starring Audrey Hepburn, icons of public consumption speak in the language of private devotion. Encourage emulation. Inspire idolatry. Be a muse, be a nymph, be a sprite, bewitch me. Rise from obscurity. Set trends. Break habits. Make statements. Count blessings. Distribute kindnesses. Arouse devotion. Devote yourself to nobility. Ascend, ascend, ascend.
-from "How to Be a Star"

Creepy. If I had to read one more poem about Audrey Hepburn and how much the author adored her, I thought I might vomit.
