Swiping Right and Other Regrets

Swiping Right and Other Regrets addresses the distaste of hollow infatuation within online dating. Through a balance of sarcastic wit and vulnerability, the femme narrator navigates sexual agency within a virtual space that is often too passive and overly saturated to fully enjoy the pleasures of juicy encounters. The first print edition is funded by the 2017 Artist Publication Award by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Dimensions: 7 x 5", 26 pages
Materials: Softcover book
