Reviews
With frank observations and blunt commentary, Tamblyn has created a smartly crafted collection, proving that she is a savvy and fierce woman and poet who knows that behind every spotlight is shadow., With a drummer's approach to wording and a coroner's attention to bodily detail, Amber Tamblyn's tragicomic dead girl poems are a thoughtful, ghoulish kick., The poetry collection examines the cost of fame through the lives of some of Hollywood's most infamous and/or tragically unfamous women in accessibly insightful, and deeply moving, lyrical form., Reviewers may compare Tamblyn to James Franco, who also wrote poems about his own celebrity, but the two cases aren't really alike: Tamblyn's work seems less slick, and it's more playful and far more personal, with highs and lows that stick around after the cameras are off., Amber Tamblyn's Dark Sparkler is an elegy, a eulogy, a rhapsody, a rage. In these astonishing poems inspired by dead actresses, Tamblyn fiercely examines the spectacle of the actress as she lives and dies and how our hands and hearts linger on their lives., "The poetry collection examines the cost of fame through the lives of some of Hollywood's most infamous and/or tragically unfamous women in accessibly insightful, and deeply moving, lyrical form." -- Marie Claire "With frank observations and blunt commentary, Tamblyn has created a smartly crafted collection, proving that she is a savvy and fierce woman and poet who knows that behind every spotlight is shadow." -- Booklist "Reviewers may compare Tamblyn to James Franco, who also wrote poems about his own celebrity, but the two cases aren't really alike: Tamblyn's work seems less slick, and it's more playful and far more personal, with highs and lows that stick around after the cameras are off." -- Publishers Weekly "A memorial and a magical act. . . .

In these astonishing poems inspired by dead actresses, Tamblyn fiercely examines the spectacle of the actress as she lives and dies and how our hands and hearts linger on their lives."-- Roxane Gay, author of New York Times bestseller Bad Feminist The lives of more than twenty-five actresses lost before their time--from Marilyn Monroe to Brittany Murphy--explored in a haunting, provocative new work by an acclaimed poet and award-winning actress, and paired with 12 original, four-color pieces of artwork commissioned for the book by luminaries including David Lynch, Adrian Tomine, and Marcel Dzama. As a woman who has grown up in the spotlight, Amber Tamblyn is deeply fascinated by--and intimately familiar with--the toll exacted from young women whose lives are offered in sacrifice as starlets. The stories of these actresses, both famous and obscure--tragic stories of suicide, murder, obscurity, and other forms of death--inspired this empathic and emotionally charged collection of new poetic work. Featuring subjects from Marilyn Monroe and Frances Farmer to Dana Plato and Brittany Murphy--and paired with original artwork commissioned for the book--Dark Sparkler is a surprising and provocative collection from a young artist of wide-ranging talent, culminating in an extended, confessional epilogue of astonishing candor and poetic command., The lives of more than twenty-five actresses lost before their time-from Marilyn Monroe to Brittany Murphy-explored in a haunting, provocative new work by an acclaimed poet and actress.
