Swngrs Donia Kashkooli

"Swingers" is Donia Kashkooli's third published poetry collection. Written from the perspective of a character who does everything and goes everywhere in order to figure out their place in the world, the poems in this book revolve around the themes of traveling, drug and alcohol abuse, love, politics, friendship, music, and our changing society. "Swingers" is Kashkooli's most personal work. She puts the reader in the place of a young hoodrat from a small town who can't stay in one place for too long, as she talks about life with the perfect blend of wisdom, $5 riesling, and post-teenage angst.
