About the book
Beginning with the province of legend, Kissing Dead Girls uses poetic inappropriateness to touch historical paragons and examine what it is about them that touches readers in vignettes, casting the narrator as the lover of Josephine Baker, Amelia Earhart, Anne Frank, Frida Kahlo, Jonbenet Ramsey, Sharon Tate and Karen Carpenter. Fusing together pornography and post-feminist theory, transcript and tell-all, these poems and stories reach off the page in search of what it is to be known.
