Poetry. "Abigail Child's MOB is sexy and scary. Like her films, these poems use thrilling formal strategies, kinetically tracing, tracking, and dancing the mind of the body to challenge the social dystopia with eros. The eros of these poems is gorgeously articulated and deeply feminist in its manner of exploring the boundaries and sometimes lack of boundaries between feminine sexual joy and the violence and power blockages of social decay" -Carla Harryman.

About the Author:
Abigail Child's moving Images always contain elements of humor, liveliness and complex sound/image montage.

Child's previous work explores sexuality, focusing on radical strategies to rewrite narrative, and includes the cult classics Mayhem (1987) and Covert Action (1984). Her feature documentary On the Downlow (2007) goes further in its intimate look at an underground scene. An earlier short on this topic, The Party (2005) was featured at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2007. Child is a reciplent of Guggenheim, Fulbright, and Radcliffe Institute Fellowships and has shown her films nationally and internationally.
