Overview
Lexi Pelle's debut, Let Go With The Lights On , chronicles a wise-cracking ex-Catholic girl's rollercoaster life while troubling the notions of self, art, religion, and beauty.
Through the lens of pop culture, these candid narratives reimagine beauty standards and grapple with the awkwardness of girlhood, struggles with body image and recovery, and questions of faith. In this intimate journey, with a fearless and unreserved voice, Pelle constructs a vivid frame-by-frame exploration of the profound ways in which desire molds the contours of our lives. These introspective poems illuminate the complexities of love, our human beliefs and desires.
