“what a dream come true to reveal the stunning cover for my debut poetry collection, DEAD GIRL CAMEO 🖤 this National Poetry Month, forthcoming from One World Books on August 5, available for preorder now at the link in bio!
today, on Tammi Terrell’s 80th birthday, it’s my honor to begin sharing her story and the survival stories of so many starlets like her–artists whose work and whose lives have so deeply shaped mine. 💖
🔮 if you delight in 90s nostalgia, music history, the internet millennials made, queer yearning, lesbian love songs, poems about vampires, or all of the above, i wrote this book for you. 📚”
-author m. mick powell

ABOUT THE BOOK

A dazzling docupoetic debut interweaving personal loss with the stories of Aaliyah Haughton, Whitney Houston, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, Phyllis Hyman, Selena Quintanilla, and others to explore sexuality, survival, queer mourning, and the afterlives of stardom.

Through sensual imagery, speculative verse, and splendid wordplay, DEAD GIRL CAMEO takes us beyond the headlines, innovating a Black feminist poetic that traverses the richly-textured realms of grief, girlhood, love, widowing, femme friendship, and queer fandom.
