So Long, and Thank You for All the Waterproof Mascara

“Lilith Mae McFarlin’s So Long, and Thank You for All the Waterproof Mascara is a tour de force exploration of gender and sexuality—the artifice, the performative, and the genuine. These poems fearlessly punch back at our cruel political and cultural moment. In bold gestures, crisp imagery, and laugh-out-loud reversals that might make a reader’s mascara run, McFarlin invites us into her ‘penthouse level of unapologetic queerness.’”- Denise Duhamel, author of Blowout
