How I Became an Angry Woman

Poetry May 2015 ISBN 978-1-936628-34-6 36 pages Softcover, 5½" x 8½"

"In How I Became an Angry Woman, Bianca Bargo autopsies a doomed love in razor-edged imagery 'boiling with lava and venom.' Here we have a man who has 'eaten girls' hearts like valentine candy' and a woman who has 'too many nightmares / of your old lover; / her Fingers, dirty / with knowing you first.' These are volcanic poems that ultimately understand how love—like the truth—is rarely pure and never simple."—Sarah Freligh
