Reviews

I've come to expect nothing less than perfection from Roberta Beary, and Crazy Bitches: selected haibun does not disappoint. Beary is a master of the form and her haibun are deceptively simple; it takes the highest level of craft to make them seem so. Beary tackles the hard issues, as in ""On a Day Like Any Other,"" where the small, pink-haired boy is ambushed by bullies, captured on video. ""A footprint marks his face. His white shirt is stained with blood. But the Blessed Heart insignia on his backpack is untouched."" Beary's sense of irony is unmatched. I love this book. -Alexis Rhone Fancher, author of Triggered, Brazen, Junkie Wife, and Erotic
