Connie Scozzaro, Contrapposto Action Queen

A new chapbook by Connie Scozzaro is emerging into the world totally unlike the hierophant retreating from his terrifying breakfast meeting with a bear princess.  Contrapposto Action Queen is an organic lyric movement towards a smackdown of the unwitting social damage of roleplay, is tender and funny, and resonates with a voice entirely its own.  These poems make no sacrifices for their wieldy topics of domesticity, love, and labour, all cast among a troupe of creeps, lovers, mothers, mermaids, Dante & Beatrice, cops, cornflakes, muses, Rousseau, and the EDL.
