Description:“Dazzling, incisive, conspiratorial, sexy—Loving Tallulah Bankhead is a pursuit of abandon, wrought with great care, and a testament to the ways artists save each other, inspire each other, create worlds together. Reading Chappell’s pressurized, increasingly brazen poems, and viewing Lauren Patterson’s poignant accompanying drawings, I’m reminded of the paradoxical power of performance to activate a fuller, truer, freer self. It’s a thrill to see Tallulah Bankhead—that gorgeously subversive Alabamian—written toward with such imagination, playfulness, veneration, and vulnerability.”—Gabrielle Bates, author of Judas Goat“In Carrie Chappell's Loving Tallulah Bankhead, the defiant star plays Virgil, leading our poet-speaker through Alabama, the home state of Chappell and Bankhead. The sequence crescendoes when the two women dress in their ‘fathers’ trousers’ to surreptitiously burn a hoop skirt, that emblem of Southern aristocracy, white supremacy, and patriarchy. While Dante's journey brings him closer to God, Chappell's journey brings her closer to other women, teaching her to not only love Tallulah Bankhead but women writers, rivals, crushes, her mother, and herself, all of whom the culture has tried to reduce to mere ‘acolyte, ornament, girl.’ Chappell's maximalist aesthetic triumphs over convention and conventional lyricism: ‘Each pearl is a word—/Deluxe and dogmatic. I pull them off, all that we've let slip, from their mouths/Into ours.’ Elegantly illustrated by native Alabamian Lauren Patterson, Chappell's Loving Tallulah Bankhead is a book for ‘American-Women-Wishing-to-be-French’—and we are many!—to hold close.” —Carolyn Hembree, author of Rigging a Chevy into a Time Machine and Other Ways to Escape a Plague “What does it mean to be a ‘proper southern woman?’ What does it mean to be our authentic selves? Carrie Chappell's imaginative and confessional collection, Loving Tallulah Bankhead, moves through these questions in poems that are intimate, reflective, and deeply personal. Chappell defies conventions of time and form in this book, which opens pathways for liberation, love, and for a powerful blooming of the self.” —Ashley M.
