Heeldragger

Author: Chelsea Tadeyeske

Artist: Mathew Gasparek

Publisher: Plumberries (2012)

“I need to read more Chelsea Tadeyeske right away. Heeldragger is a sequence of deathy bedtime poems, humorous, aware of the page as space, pressing against it; there’s violent scent and body here, and Mathew Gasparek’s images are knowing and funny and worrying, a fine match for the sequence, as is the book’s construction. The
whole has a dark, smart, sisterly tone. It all makes for a damn desirable chapbook.”
