Twinzilla

Poetry. With irreverent wordplay, Hagerty digs to the roots of language itself, showing the unbreakable links between our inner and outer worlds, and between the world that is "real" and the worlds we can imagine. Her fearless alter-ego, Twinzilla, reawakens in even the most jaded post-modern reader all the powerful fizz our planet needs. "The poems in TWINZILLA are smart, teasing, dead-serious, marked by keen intelligence and inventive language. Hagerty takes us into a world where 'metaphysics are like candy.' Her narratives leap, inventive and rewarding, embracing motherhood and daughter- hood, scrutinizing questions of meaning and embodiment, weaving from the elegiac to the wryly joyful, showing forth the ways we shadow our own selves."--Jeanne Larsen
