Selected by Vievee Francis for the Four Way Books Intro Prize, Valerie Wallace's House of McQueen is a glittering debut by an assured new voice. Inhabiting the life and work of Alexander McQueen, Wallace builds a fantastical world using both original language and excerpts drawn from interviews, supermodels, Shakespeare, and more. At turns fierce and vulnerable, here is a collection that leaps from runway to fairytale to street with wild, brilliant grace. Wallace will be joined by local poets Tyler Mills and Aaron Rudolph.
