As a novelist, memoirist, and poet, Amber Dawn regularly lays her heart bare in work that is fiery, raw, and intensely personal. In Buzzkill Clamshell, her third poetry collection, Amber Dawn circumvents the expectations of socalled confessional poetry, offering twisted mythmaking, extreme hyperbole, and lyrical guttermouthing that explore themes of sick and disabled queerness, aging, and desire. With poems populated by severed heads, domme swan maidens, horny oracles, and other horrible purveyors of pleasure, Buzzkill Clamshell reads as if a leather dyke and a demonic goat had a baby gleefully embracing the perverse while stomping its way through chronic pain and complex PTSD. Already acclaimed for her candid and often kinky verse, Amber Dawn pushes further into traumainformed eroticism with selfassured irreverence and uncomfortable abjectivity. Beneath her brilliant, carnivalesque imagery lies a prayer not for the pain to end, but for finding fantastic new ways to cope with pain.
