About the Book

In Just Like I Like It, Danielle LaFrance combines poetry and autotheory as a means to target ideological infatuation, spilling into an obsession with ideological abolishment. Just Like I Like It searches for ways to kill and abolish "it," searching for ways to get it done right, even when attempted slowly and stupidly. Even if the only way out is death. LaFrance draws on stupidity, sadomasochism, pretend power, parasitism, and violent revolutionary desubjectification to shape a felt experience. Each page pokes it awake all over again, culminating in a number of accomplished failures. The book includes a reworking of several sections of The Iliad. Poetry, it seems, is the best weapon for wiping it out with fewer casualties, which is why it is never enough.
About the Author: DANIELLE LAFRANCE LIVES ON OCCUPIED AND STOLEN LANDS CARED FOR BY THE XʷMƏΘKʷƏY̓ƏM, SḴWX̱WÚ7MESH, AND SELILWITULH peoples. LAFRANCE COMES FROM GREEK AND DUTCH ANCESTRY, AND IS LEARNING WHERE THE FRENCH CANADIAN RELATIVES CAME FROM. FOLLOWING THE WOULD-BE POETICS MAPPED IN JUST LIKE I LIKE IT (TALONBOOKS 2019), LAFRANCE ARRIVES AT READING AND WRITING FROM A POSITION KNOWING ILLUSIONS ARE DESTROYED. LAFRANCE'S RECENT POETRY PROJECT #POSTDILDO THINKS AND ACTS THROUGH FANTASY, RAPE CULTURE, MODES OF COMMUNICATION, YEARNINGS, AFTERMATHS, AND LOST IDEAS. MUCH ANIMAL LOVE. LAFRANCE MAKES MONEY AS A COMMUNITY LIBRARIAN AND FROM SIDE HUSTLES. WITH ANAHITA JAMALI RAD, LAFRANCE CO-EDITED THE JOURNAL AND DISCUSSION SERIES ABOUT A BICYCLE, OF WHICH THERE WERE 5 ISSUES. LAFRANCE AUTHORS FRIENDLY + FIRE (TALONBOOKS 2016) AND SPECIES BRANDING (CAPILANO UNIVERSITY EDITIONS 2010). LAFRANCE INVESTS IN LISTENING AND/OR ADDRESSING AND/OR RESPONDING TO THE RADICAL ROOT OF THINGS.
