Congratulations on the publication of HOW TO FUCK LIKE A GIRL by Vera Blossom out today with DOPAMINE/Semiotext(e)!
A cheeky how-to guide, as raunchy as it is heartfelt, from a bright new literary voice.
A bold and vulnerable collection from a new, young voice, How to Fuck Like a Girl is a daring mash-up of pillow book, grimoire, and manifesto by writer Vera Blossom. From hooking up to trans witchcraft, petty crime, capitalism, friendships, divorce, and survival, Blossom brings wit and melancholy, grandeur and smarts, debuting a bright literary voice as raunchy as it is heartfelt. A cheeky how-to guide that earnestly asks if it is possible to fuck oneself into girlhood, How to Fuck Like a Girl is a cult classic in the making.
Vera is represented by Amanda Orozco and Laura Cameron.Ā
Congratulations, Vera!
Wrote a little something for my friend @cat_birk_ ās show @dddd.pictures which will be up through May 9! i was lucky enough to stumble upon Catās exhibition up in Madison a couple years ago and completely fell in love with her work. Hereās some shots from my visit to Catās studio back in December, around when she asked me to do some writing about House-Tree-Person. I love being in studio spaces and surrounded by someone elseās process, itās so invigorating. Plus I got to take home an original Cat Birk silicone horse head to guard my front doorš¤ If youāre in NY and havenāt yet, go see Catās show!
Come out to @skunkcabbagebooks in Avondale on Wednesday, April 8, 2026 to hear my bestie @cuteflesh and I in conversation about Warm Numb, Jagged Spiral, Hey Teddy! Weāll go in depth about the projectās origins, discuss the short film, and read some poems from the chapbook.
It would be a dream come true for you to be there ā you have no idea! The amount of love Iāve received for this project so far has been very humbling, and I want this night to be one of remembrance, healing, and community.
Copies of the chapbook will be available for purchase! Additionally, pre-orders are still available at the link in my bio if youād like to guarantee your copy. āļø
