About this item
Poetry. "If a girl, a virus, a horned animal, milkweed, an exchange of cash for dirty looks, the near-rhyme of greed to death, the names of all brutes, and a shroud in which was wrapped the erect ascendant all met in an ovum and, lodged deep in the earth's core, fused into a supernova. If, from that long ago time until this very moment - perhaps even into the future - that supernova were listening in on us, her grave canal located such that she were overexposed to US American politicovangelizing, all at once began to speak: this is what she says." - Danielle Pafunda
About the Author
Dylan Krieger is a divining rod of ungodly proportions in south Louisiana. She lives in the back of a little brick house with a feline reincarnation of Catherine the Great and sunlights as a trade mag editor. She earned her BA in English and philosophy from the University of Notre Dame and her MFA in creative writing from Louisiana State University, where she won the Robert Penn Warren Award in 2015. Her debut poetry collection, "Giving Godhead" (Delete Press, 2017) , was dubbed "the best collection of poetry to appear in English in 2017" by the New York Times Book Review. She is also the author of "dreamland trash" (Saint Julian Press, forthcoming) , "no ledge left to love" (Ping-Pong Free Press, forthcoming) , and--most recently--an autobiographical meditation on the Church of Euthanasia.
