The collection of poems invites readers into a surreal cinematic experience, blending vivid imagery and transformations. It features a fusion of characters and elements, such as Gertrude Stein and Patti Smith, as well as a bird that becomes a girl and a city that morphs into a glacier.

Political Animals explores how a new generation of filmmakers and critics is influencing discussions on gender and sexuality, pushing for a more inclusive and sustainable film industry, fulfilling the vision laid out by Laura Mulvey.
