A memoir made of poetry, Dress Rehearsals documents a decade of performing womanhood in a non-binary body.
My femininity is not a survival instinct, it is a song.
In their brilliant new poetry collection, Madison Godfrey documents a decade of performing womanhood, from teenage
fangirl to tender femme. Godfrey's poems approach the autobiographical body as a site of the everyday and the surreal:
experiencing first crushes, mosh pits, sharpened nails, gender euphoria, and the complicated colours of desire and
memory.
Darkly witty and deeply confessional, Dress Rehearsals is a love story to the queer self. This coming-of-age memoir asks,
what does it mean to wear femininity into the world, when it constitutes both a bullseye and a ballgown?
'I inhaled this book.' Dylin Hardcastle
