Dare Me To Be The Girl
Susan Milchman invites readers on an immersive journey through the complexities of love, loss, identity, and resilience. Each poem is a testament to her intimacy with language as art form and her ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary … each poem is painted with vivid imagery and powerful emotions that transcend the written word. Susan’s work is not just read—it’s experienced, as she blends her haunting and evocative poetic verse with the rich, tactile textures of visual storytelling.
Mascara, Boobs & Headbands
Susan borrows 80s song lyrics to transform them (via the golden shovel form) into long-lined poems tied together with fearless wit, rhythm, and sharp-tongued agency: “the dreams a girl keeps like a bent knife in her boot / like a fistful of borrowed fire.” In these pages you’ll find poems “bruised and sugared,” a little wild, a little broken, and ever relentless.
