"Gwen is my favourite kind of poet, the kind with clear eyes that truly see other humans." --katherena vermette, author of The Break and Procession

"Will make you cackle so heinously your roommate asks what you are choking on." --South Broadway Press

As heard on CBC - An Autostraddle Most Anticipated Queer Book for April

Tweaking working-class colloquialisms into new forms of elegy and song, Gwen Aube's hilarious and uncompromising poems chronicle a precarious, debaucherous carnival of trailer-trash divas and Discord autistics, living and delighting in survival at the edges of technocapital.

Like a digital-age Wanda Coleman, like a transsexual Kevin Killian, like Elizabeth Smart infused with Sybil Lamb, Missed Connections with Tall Girls establishes Aube as a brash and unstoppable singular voice for a monstrous new world.
