Description
Poet, literary critic, and professor Stephanie Burt presents poems inspired by X-Men, pop culture, and more to explore love, romance, queer identities, fan cultures, powered-up princesses, red queens, pirates, retcons, and the spaces between the stars. Burt says, “As well as taking general excitement and inspiration from comic book superheroes and their cousins in film and TV, all these poems are transformative works: they describe, refer to, or speak for individual heroes and their stories.” Cover art by Mara Hampson.
