With wry metaphor and precise imagery, poet/actress Amber Tamblyn offers poetic insights into what it's like to be an actress in the public eye since the age of 11. Whether she's describing real life info-gathering for a primetime TV drama ("Role Research"), addressing the crossroads of public perception and private life ("Fell Off"), reflecting on love ("Hate, A Love Poem"), or having fun with poetic form ("Trust Haiku"), Amber Tamblyn gives readers insight into a life that is often wondered about but rarely revealed.
