No Place for Dames

No Place for Dames is Janeshek's fourth full-length book of poetry. From the 1920s to the 2020s, from Hollywood to the West Virginia hollers, these poems bind your hands in the alley behind the drug store, shove you underneath the sheets of a sweaty canopy bed, and hand you the Ouija board. But your absurdist best friend is cheating; she's moving the planchette. It's all dead dear, sequins, stiff drinks, bad sex, and sunglasses as Dames probes what it means to be anything besides a straight, white man in a straight, white man's world. Just in time.
