Description ▲

WHY THINGS BURN is about as hard-hitting a book of poetry as you'll experience this year. In her own inimitable style, Daphne Gottlieb tackles sexuality, lesbianism, rape, modern urban living, and the author's Jewish heritage, with a sometimes kooky but always sophisticated view of life. Honed to perfection in her 'slam' spoken word performances, these 50 poems are by turns witty, shocking, warm and fierce. The book also includes photos of the author on stage.
