Mix Tapes and Photo Albums is a coming-of-age poetry collection about a small town punk rock scene told by a girl who loved Francie Nolan and Ben Weasel equally. Each poem assumes the title of a song which creates the soundtrack to a group of teenagers who push the boundaries of their small town, test where they fit, and find solace in their local punk rock scene. This poetic mix tape sings to the kids who will hear their first Sex Pistols song, start their own bands, write their own zines, scrawl Xs on their hands, and create their own communities; and those kids who remember. Mix Tapes and Photo Albums speaks to those to know that punk is thriving in the streets of small towns everywhere, just waiting for the next generation of kids to tap into its raw power.
Pre Order coming soon. For real.
