Madame Deluxe
Reviews

"Tenaya Darlington, Madame Deluxe, is a truthsayer with attitude and an agenda to boot. She's a charmer, an alarmer, a kick in the pants, a hoot. She embodies generations, furthers traditions; it's heartening to know what poetry can still do."
-Lawson Fusao Inada

"Once Madame Deluxe puts on her glam rhinestone glasses, all the poems in this collection bloom as Tenaya Darlington delivers curve ball camp and Technicolor screwball 'sonnets' with pure post-feminist fun. A genius at genre-bending and gender bending, Darlington is a smart, sassy, first-rate poet."
-Denise Duhamel

"The poetry shines with the attractiveness of the most brilliant drag queen, making for a decent show."
-The Literary Review
