A memoir made of poetry, Dress Rehearsals documents a decade of performing womanhood in a non-binary body.
Dress Rehearsals is a raw and beautiful exploration of what it means to be feminine. Beginning with teenage yearning, these poems both celebrate and grieve Madison's sexual awakening as they transition into the glittering femme fatale.
Navigating first love, menstruation, chronic illness, sex and patriarchal power dynamics, Dress Rehearsals is a coming-of-age story that has never been told - a decade of performing womanhood in an elaborate and shifting costume.
This collection is a unique and transformative experience and, with its careful balance of dark humour and warmth, a queer celebration of gender.
