(1) YA This collection comprises fifty poems on the devastating conjunction of girls' vulnerability, the rapacious beauty industry, and fairy tales. Caustic, witty, sad, and angry, Heppermann articulates the false promises, seductions, and deathly morass of popular culture's imagery of girls' bodies. What makes Heppermann's poetry exceptional, however, is not the messages it carries but the intense, expressive drive that fuels it.
