Review of Final Girl by Lauren Milici
Final Girl
by Lauren Milici
Big Lucks Books, 2019
Lauren Milici’s Final Girl (Big Lucks Books, 2019) screams survive, survive, survive. Here, her words are absolute: scars & hearts & [body]. Milici warns readers in the first few lines of Purge, “When the sun goes down, look for/his car across the street/Shut the blinds” a cautious notion to women everywhere to the last lines of His Girl Friday, “I must taste of ash, or expired film/of knees skinned/on the sidewalk”. Milici’s collection is about the arduous journey of trauma and the light at the end.
Look at me.
I am so many pieces.
