"A dazzling, genre-bending debut about one woman's coming-out, coming-of-age, and coming undone"--

A woman lives an ordinary life in Brooklyn. She has a boyfriend. They share a cat. She writes poems in the prevailing style. She also has dreams: of being seduced by a throng of older women, of kissing a friend in a dorm-room closet. But the dreams are private, not real. One night, she meets another woman at a bar, and an escape hatch swings open in the floor of her life. A love story in poems that explores obsession, gender, identity, and the art and act of literary transformation.
