Getting Lucky by Nicole Steinberg
Getting Lucky by Nicole Steinberg, graduate, the MFA in Creative Writing at The New School.
Getting Lucky is a collection of sonnets culled from the editorial copy of Lucky, a newsstand publication for fashionistas. By adopting the magazine’s gendered and glossy language, the poems explore contemporary ideals of beauty and femininity, as well as female-specific narratives we see in culture, media, and everyday life.
