Winners & Losers — Catherine Weiss
Two chapbooks in one, Winners & Losers is a love-letter to the art of pro-wrestling. Read in one direction, the poems form a heroic crown of sonnets dedicated to the winners of 14 iconic matches. Flip the book over and you will find a heroic sonnet crown for their losing counterparts. From Ric Flair vs Dusty Rhodes to Vince McMahon vs God, this little volume explores the question what does it mean to fight with all you’ve got when the outcome is already written?
