Interior Femme is a tour de force of sorrow and celebration, where readers will find a timely reminder of the terms we find ourselves in, here in our bodies and on this planet, circa 2021. Berger has written an astonishing first book--a must read!""--Claudia Keelan, professor of English, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, editor of Interim, and author of eight collections of poetry, including We Step into the Sea""In her stunning debut collection, Stephanie Berger reminds us that because we are human, we are poetry. In all our beautiful bruisings, within the meadow-shacks of our hearts, and with our souls split into seven whores--sacred whores, of course. Diving into this delicious book, ""you'll remember: we/are human, /we rhyme.""--Sharon Mesmer, professor of creative writing, NYU and the New School, and author of Greetings from My Girlie Leisure Place
