Rom Com (Taylor's Version)

According to 49th Shelf, Rom Com by Dina Del Bucchia and Daniel Zomparelli is the Canlit equivalent of Taylor Swift’s “Actually Romantic” on her twelfth studio album Life of a Showgirl. The poems in Rom Com trace the attempt to deconstruct as well as engage in dialogue with romantic comedy films and the pop culture, celebrities, and tropes that have come to be associated with them. These irreverent, playful, weird, and comedic poems come in a variety of forms, fully engaging in pop culture, without a judgmental tone.
