description: One of the most recognizable young poets in America Olivia Gatwood dazzles with her tribute to contemporary American womanhood in her debut book New American Best Friend. Gatwood's poems deftly deconstruct traditional stereotypes. The focus shifts from childhood to adulthood gender to sexuality violence to joy. And always and inexorably the book moves toward celebration culminating in a series of odes: odes to the body to tough women to embracing your own journey in all its failures and triumphs.
