Mall Brat

"This astonishing pathos-saturated debut collection was written by a 200 year old middle-schooler named Laura Marie Marciano. With pop pastiche, lyrical pirouettes, and sage insights parading as 'confessions,' these poems position-like a ballet class at its bar pivoting towards the mirror-the young against the old, the native against the new, and the innocent against the cynical to show them how, together, they more beautifully out of sync."
-Monica McClure, author of Tender Data
