Barnes and Noble: Greetings from My Girlie Leisure Place is Sharon Mesmer’s fifth collection of “tough and lush” poetry. Unwaveringly energetic and relentlessly wry, Mesmer fashions poems from the flashiest trash of the American sensibility and the Internet’s muckiest dumping grounds, with a swagger and intelligence all her own. Hers is a generous spriti: “I want to expose myself,” confesses one piece, “for love of the people.”
