Makeshift Instructions for Vigilant Girls

Erika Meitner is one kick-ass poet. Imagine my excitement at discovering that she has a new book out! It’s called Makeshift Instructions for Vigilant Girls , and here’s what Daisy Fried has to say:

These cool, hot poems about women and girls in danger and on the prowl, coming of age and being of age, are full of startling detail and vivid setting. Meitner’s range, wit, compassion and her
alertness to the moments where domestic and collective experience intersect, make these poems memorable. This book is a seriously good read.
