Words In Your Face Dear Future Boyfriend : : Hot Teen Slut Working Class Represent : : Oh Terrible Youth About the Author : : How to Buy "Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz is a dizzying dervish of a poet, an astounding talent, a deft lyricist whose patented take on this dopey world is dazzling in its originality..." Patricia Smith, Author of Teahouse of the Almighty In her celebrated debut volume, Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz tackles love ("Science"), heartbreak ("Lit") and thieving suburban punks ("Ode to the Person Who Stole My Family's Lawn Gnome"), among other topics. Quirky and humorous, with a subtext of social commentary, Aptowicz's writing is for people who think they hate poetry -- and for those who love it. This expanded version includes over two dozen previously unpublished works along side her old standards, including "Mother" and the Pushcart Prize-nominated "Hard Bargain."
