In these short, captivating lyrics, Catherine Cohen, the one-woman stand-up chanteuse who electrified the downtown Nyc comedy scene in her white go-go boots, and who has been posting poignant, unfiltered poems on social media since before Instagram was a thing, details her life on the prowl with her beaded bag, she ponders guys who call you "dude" after sex, true love during the pandemic, and English-major dreams.

"A Dorothy Parker for our time, a Starbucks philosophe with no primary-care doctor, she's a welcome new breed of everywoman- a larger-than-life best friend, who will say all the outrageous things we think but never say out loud ourselves.
