"Punchy, spiky, and flush with a young writer's love of language, the collection often deglamourizes the acting business. A great find."—Library Journal

With insightful poetry that is quite serious yet has fun with metaphor, imagery, and language, Amber Tamblyn gives readers a backstage pass to the show inside her mind. Whether she's describing real life info-gathering for a prime time TV drama ("Role Research") or addressing the crossroads of public perception and private life ("Fell Off"), Amber Tamblyn wields metaphors mercilessly in a wry and talented voice.

Amber Tamblyn is an Emmy and Golden Globe Award–nominated actor and poet.
