Let Go With The Lights On by Lexi Pelle

Lexi Pelle's Let Go With The Lights On chronicles a wise-cracking ex-Catholic girl’s rollercoaster life.
Through the lens of pop culture, these candid poems reimagine beauty standards and grapple with the awkwardness of girlhood. Pelle struggles with body image, recovery, and questions of faith. With a fearless and unreserved voice, Pelle reexamines desire, and religious and secular notions of beauty.
Be human, be messy, be funny, and be free with Let Go With The Lights On.
