Poetry. California Interest. Women's Studies. Cassandra Dallett's 2015 collection of poetry. "These poems speak of love, sex and relationships in the way they are actually lived, with all the pleasures and brutality. They are tender, bitter and, above all, unfailingly true."—William Taylor, Jr., author of BLOOD OF A TOURIST (sunnyoutside, 2014) "In poem upon poem, Cassandra Dallett pours out her cool and steaming heart in unmeasured rouds of bittersweet toasts and takes. Dallett's voice and vision shine."—Al Young, California Poet Laureate and author of Something About the Blues: An Unlikely Collection of Poetry (Sourcebooks MediaFusion, 2007) "Cassandra Dallett writes like a feminist self-aware Charles Bukowski. Sure there's plenty of sex, drugs, violence, and rock 'n' roll, but there's a lot of quiet 'spots of time,' as Wordsworth would say, where the clearly defined and explained devolves into the philisophical, and the stereotype changes into a nuanced portrait...Dallett never apologizes for or shies away from her own faults, cravings, addictions, and mistakes."—Christine Hamm, author of Echo Park (BlazeVOX, 2011)

"Cassandra Dallett writes from the perspective of someone who is fed up with the United States of America, and she presents us with an oppositional paradise in the wilderness that is a refuge from the chaos. Chaos that has been dividing and conquering us ever since the tactic was first used by white Europeans to massacre the indigenous peoples--enslave Africans--and to keep all marginalized people in the lower classes from rising up and destroying the wealthy, ruling class. She shows us what the barriers and borders set up by brokers have done to us all, as well as, gives us a vision of what we all can become if these walls of separation are burned down. Cassandra presents us with an argument on what capitalism has done to us all, her evidence are her own experiences and the experiences of those whom she wishes had more power, and her reason is what we all can become if we remembered that we can still rise from this chaos--and rise into a wilderness where we can all just start this shit over from the ashes of revolution. This book is a hard reset on a cell phone with no more memory for bullshit." - Vernon Keeve III, author of Southern Migrant Mixtape

A Pretty Little Wilderness

be about it press

Poetry. California Interest. COLLAPSE is a doomed love, temporary, free on bond, haunted by rage and regret, fueled by Hip-Hop beats, and clinging like the remains of the Ghost Ship fire--with the world burning around us, it is time and place, politics and anarchy, connection for the broken.
