Girl Teeth

Christina Brown's Girl Teeth is a fiercely honest collection of poems worth biting into. She unwraps womanhood, befriends fear, "conjures the ghosts" of past loves, pays tender tribute to strength and femininity, and accurately paints "the lines between curiosity and violence," all reasons why we grow teeth. These poems talk to each other, and as a reader, it's a cathartic thrill to be able to eavesdrop on the conversation. This book will make a mark in your memory, like "leaving a small tube of moisturizer in every ex-lover's apartment."
