Denise Duhamel's Two and Two


Denise Duhamel is an amazing poet. You might have heard of her "Barbie" poems in her book Kinky. Her poetry is multidimensional: funny, poignant, and sometimes painful. The first poem of Two and Two is titled "Noah and Joan," which she wrote after discovering "that 20 pecent of Americans believe / that Noah (of Noah's Ark) was married / to Joan of Arc." There you go.

We have a signed copy waiting for you.
