Gurlesque: a term that describes writers who perform femininity in their poems in a campy or overtly mocking manner, risking the grotesque to shake the foundations of acceptable female behavior and language. This new digital anthology features poems and essays exploring grrly, grotesque, burlesque poetics that pushes the aesthetic envelope through radical, femme, Third Wave strategies. Built from the bric-a-brac of girl culture, these works charm and repel: this work is fun, subversive, and important.
