In this new, expanded edition of Danger and Beauty, which collects writings
from 1968 through 2001, Hagedorn muses about love and sex; mysticism and drugs;
and probes with wry humor and sharp social satire the heart - and heartbreaks -
of the immigrant experience.
Here in one volume are this exciting writer's first two books, Dangerous Music
and Pet Food & Tropical Apparitions, along with a generous selection of
her newest work that reveals a powerful and witty continuation of her journey as
a singer and searcher, woman and questioner.
"Jessica Hagedorn is one of the best of a new generation of writers who are
making American language new and who in the process are creating a new American
Literalture."
Born and raised in the Philippines, Jessica Hagedorn is a poet, novelist,
playwright, and performance artist whose work has been anthologized widely. Her
