Synopsis "Dead Girl Cameo: A Love Song in Poems"

A dazzling docupoetic debut collection interweaving ripped-from-the-headlines pop culture herstories with the personal narratives of Whitney Houston, Aaliyah, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, and others, to interrogate celebrity, identity, sexuality, industry abuse, death, and the afterlives of stardom. "I made, of my bones, an earth for you: turned the oceansyour favorite shade of light, that deepened, nearly bruiseddusk. reflected in my palms, what I've made into waterglows amethyst: when you drink from it, you are iridescent" In Dead Girl Cameo, m. mick powell closely examines the experiences of Aaliyah Haughton, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, Whitney Houston, and other notable superstars who died tragically too soon. How did these starlets challenge conventional representations of Black femininity and friendship, and forever transform the musical landscape? How were the artistries and addictions of these women of color impacted from surviving in the limelight and, often, in the very same industry as their abusers? How did the literal and metaphorical deaths of these Black women superstars establish legacies of Black queer femme existence and afterlife? In stunning imagery and sensual wordplay using ekphrasis, erasure, digital collage, archival research, and speculative nonfiction in verse, Dead Girl Cameo traverses the intimate realms of superstars to reconfigure Black girlhood, survivorhood, femme friendship, and queer fandom.
