Not your typical writer,
By A Customer
This review is from: Danger And Beauty (Mass Market Paperback)
Hagedorn's writing is heavily influenced by her background as a performance artist. Pet Food is my favorite story among this collection. George is a young Philipino American woman trying to grow up in a world of sex, drugs, and Jimi Hendrix, where people treat one another as pet food. While the story may seem distant from the "real world", it is closer to reality than one first suspects. Hagedorn smartly plays with the reader, blurring gender lines, creating outrageous characters and undoubtedly, some very memorable pet names

Writer, performance artist, poet and playwright Jessica Hagedorn's Danger And Beauty is a unique and impressive anthology of vivid poetry, interspersed with the occasional brief prose scene, about everything from pet food and peep shows to the "dangerous music" of 1975. Monologues touching on mature subjects, the undeniable impact a Catholic upbringing has on one's life, and unfettered emotion distinguish Danger And Beauty as poetry that mingles with the forbidden. Sorcery: there are some people I know/whose beauty/is a crime./who make you so crazy/you don't know/whether to throw yourself/as them/or ... them./which makes/for a permanent madness./which could be/bad for you./you better be on the lookout/for such circumstances...
