  <default_description>&lt;p&gt;&quot;Tea writes with a raw-hearted, wry but wide-eyed ebullience, rendering dyke bohemia with intense, gritty, glittering romanticism.&quot;-&lt;i&gt;The San Francisco Bay Guardian&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Before penning her contemporary classic &lt;i&gt;Valencia&lt;/i&gt;, Tea wrote wonderfully honest narrative poems, which she self-published in small editions, now collected here for the first time. A &lt;i&gt;San Francisco Chronicle&lt;/i&gt; Best Book of 2004 and a Lambda Literary Award finalist.&lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

This is kind of like &quot;Homicidal Lesbian Terrorist&quot;, but in poetry form.. and more.. beautiful. And less lolfunny. Though it is clever. Also... I think I want to marry Michelle Tea. ]]></body>
