Hairdo

"I love every single piece of art that Rachel Glaser makes. If she dug a hole I would want to spend time in that hole, because I know it would be just as strange, delightful, and intriguing as her linguistic and pictorial creations. Hooray for Hairdo, and long live this incomparable maker." --Heather Christie

With a voice as familiar as family, Rachel B. Glaser's second book of poems, Hairdo, hilariously navigates the daily anxieties and fantasies of the writer's path through her own modern life. Writing through action movies, pornography, chat rooms, photo shoots on train tracks, crushes on teachers and orchids in grocery stores, the poems in this book present us with emotional souvenirs of a curious and honest life lived. Bursting with Glaser's truly unique heart, her mega-watt wit and insightful eye, Hairdo is a book you will find yourself reading at 3 a.m., not able to put it down.

Rachel B. Glaser (born 1982) is the author of the story collection Pee On Water, the book of poems Moods and the novel Paulina & Fran. She lives in Northampton, Massachusetts.
