Playfulness & Pretend Light the Dark in ‘Our Dark Academia’ Poems

"As the title of this collection suggests, Adrienne’s “pretend” is dark; schoolgirls and cigarettes, dead girls and blood written on the walls, doe eyes rolling free of their faces. But pretend often is dark. How can one imagine oneself a hero without a villain to conquer?" - Hannah Lamb-Vines (@embarrassed4evr) on @adrienne.raphel

"Though Sarah undoubtedly should have received an Academy Award nomination for Best Director for 'Women Talking,' the nominations that she did garner are much deserved. Sarah is a vastly talented writer and director (and actor!), and hopefully her recognition at the Academy will bring her, 'Women Talking,' and all of her films, even more success. We’re rooting for 'Women Talking' at the Oscars this year!"
