Description
-Tanya Grae, author of Undoll
In this technicolor lament, Brenda Nicholas skillfully untangles the funhouse front America has forced women to "belly" for centuries. Whether the speaker is a Disney princess, a Bratz doll, a teen mom, or a divorcee, the women in Adrift a Fourth Wave are forced to "Frankenstein" even their most intimate relationships into existence and to make sense of beauty in a world that farcically claims to be post-Barbie. Anyone who has ever sought to turn the "bamboozled" into the beautiful or gathered the courage "to change a shoreline" will find a companion in Nicholas' charged and stunning debut, Adrift a Fourth Wave.
-Alexa Doran, author of DM Me, Mother Darling
Brenda Nicholas's Adrift a Fourth Wave reports from the front lines to set feminisms to music, with mothers and daughters, fast cars, and a 19-year-old babysitter who travels through time. Through intersections of pop culture imagery and shapeshifting timelines, Nicholas 'eats roses for breakfast, ' re-examines a postfeminist Little Red Riding Hood, and gives voice to Bratz Dolls and Farrah Fawcett. Nicholas's bravura performance reminds us how poetry can embrace both uncertainty and beauty in all the madness.
-Daniel Nester, author of Shader and How to be Inappropriate
