Breakdancing for the Pope
poems by Katie Haegele
20 Pages. ½ Size.
So I know you wanted to stop reading after seeing the word "poems" in the subtitle. But that would’ve been a huge mistake.
Katie has put together a powerful little packet of poetry in her latest zine, Breakdancing for the Pope. I enjoyed the title track the best, a piece which includes the metaphor "words put on paper / are tin cans with strings / they twirl and buck in my mind / then in yours".
Most of the pieces are free verse, and some are closer to prose than poem, but all are beautiful. "The Inside, on Being Broken" even includes a tutorial on making your own maraca, and violence, and music.
