Poetry bursting with intimacy and giddy charm.

“Each page reads like its own playhouse built by queer joy, grief, meditations on excess, and the risks and worth-its of intimacy.” – K. Iver

In a tonal mash-up of Jenny Holzer's Truisms, confessional poetry, and fortune telling, Self-Romancing draws you into the amorous and obsessive inner life of an unnamed romantic. Relatable and snarky, heartfelt and horny, L Scully fortifies irony with vulnerability, bringing readers into a narrative as intimate as slumber parties and ordinary as Trader Joe's. Bursting with the giddy charm of the everyday, Self-Romancing plays with form, turning a book into a crush, a crank call, a manifesto.

“I am not owed a French Canadian girlfriend but I'd like one. I am going to treat my next girlfriend so well. I do not still wish that you were the lady of my heart. Was it ever about our hearts in the first place? I am not going to succumb to the cold of my body or the hot of my mind. I am going to improve. Self-improvement is not the entirety of my personality. Shelter animals get well with minor veterinary care. You are not the keeper of my hunger nor heart. You are just one more person in the stitch of my chapters.”

“This book is like dreaming alongside a giant who is a farmer who used to be a flower who used to be a stack of typed pages.” – CAConrad

“Brutal clarity, humor, and astonishing precision” – Elaine Kahn

“Pulses with electric sensation and stray-thought beauty.” - Nate Lippens

L Scully is a living writer. They are also, first and foremost, a lover.
