"TOO LIKE THE LIGHTNING is a dark delight. Spencer writes as a vampire bites — with fanged, ferocious wit." - M.L. Rio, author of If We Were Villains

Taffety Punk Theatre Company returns to antagonizing the patriarchy with the publication of company member Teresa Spencer's Too Like the Lightning: Prose Poems to My Almost Loves. This riot grrrl's first published book is, appropriately, a riot. This comic, pro-lady-rage collection is a series of love poems to catcallers, followers home, online trolls, and other sundry unsavory types. Spencer began to pen these delights, framed as "missed connections", to share with friends in solidarity over the utter nuisance of street harassment. The collection grew, she took requests, and ultimately her home theatre company commissioned her for more.
