Final Girl

Meer over het boek

Exploring themes of survival and trauma, this collection of poems features the "final girl," a figure drawn from slasher films, as she navigates dark desires and fears. With titles like Suture and Bride of Reanimator, the work blends elements of queer theory and pop culture, reflecting on captivity fantasies and the impacts of death from breast cancer. Daphne Gottlieb, an acclaimed poet and award winner, delivers a unique and provocative voice that challenges conventional narratives through a blend of humor and poignancy.
