The poems of Nikki Sheppy’s Grrrrlhood politely shove briquettes into the lungs of readers, so that they can breathe purr and radicle. Its Pataphysics of organelles plus disinfectant plus medulla minus stage blood ferociously uncalculates a gendared ado-less-cents… and now, every alpha wishes it was a theta! A simply and completely reminiscularferaleludic experience.
