(1 review)

Chelsey Minnis's new collection of poems follows the struggle of a flawed character in a cinematic world. Playing with old ideas of wealth and love from Hollywood's golden era, these poems flirt with nostalgia without ever succumbing to it, casting a new light on the present through the fantasies of the past.

elisabeth nicula reviewed Baby, I Don't Care by Chelsey Minnis

"Look, it's been very hard to puppeteer myself / all these years!"

4 stars

Extravagant, funny, disturbed poetry, forming a narrative in one voice and one repeating structure through the book. Kinda like if a dissolute young 50s housewife was going out of her mind today? A love story but most often not very loving? Idk I thought it was pretty pleasurable and surprising.
