By sampling and blending the languages of science, money, beauty, and fashion, Rosenfield presents a critique of how these languages define and limit women. "Kim Rosenfield's long-awaited Good Morning-Midnight- is a rollicking expose of twenty-first century custom, superstition, procedure.An olfactory must for all time capsules and poetry shoppers alike"- Stacy Davis. "A Japanese-made little flight-attendant-esque scarflette// I don't have much of a waist/ This will give me a waist.// Prada citizen!/ Vote the party line/ The Slim Skirt party.// This isn't brain surgery/ it's a skirt" (from "Wisdom Frost").

From Publishers Weekly:

From the "Cool Clean Chemistry" of "Maximum Sapiens" to "The Acquiring of Frisky" and "Eurowarm" ("I am woman I am not demented"), New York poet Kim Rosenfield finds the pivot where body image, conspicuous consumption, self-esteem and "dome parties at Vassar" form a crushing day-for-night in Good Morning Midnight . With withering linguistic looks and razor-sharp wit, Rosenfield deconstructs the sets of beliefs that hold media-created woman together, "Novel hormonal status, household of spells MGM spectacular You know, something to do with her own life." The book's four serial works produce their own spectacular brand of "SHA-din-froy-dah," by which "Fashionation" victims might recognize themselves and "Jump! It's Argyle Day!"
