God I Feel Modern Tonight: Poems from a Gal About Town | Catherine Cohen

2 posts | 2 read

Tragicomic verses from the award-winning comedian and millennial renaissance woman. Catherine Cohen, the one-woman stand-up chanteuse who has electrified the downtown NYC comedy scene in her white go-go boots, has been posting poignant, unfiltered poems on social media since before Instagram was a thing. A self-proclaimed self-obsessed millennial on the prowl with her beaded bag, she ponders guys who call you "dude" after sex, English-major dreams, true love during the pandemic, and other weighty matters in these captivating short lyrics. "I wish I were smart instead of on my phone," Cohen confides; "heartbreak, / when it comes, and it will come / is always new." A Dorothy Parker for our time, a Starbucks philosophe with no primary-care doctor, this poet and rising megastar is 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.

I‘m apparently not the target audience for this book. I didn‘t get anything out of it. I won‘t reread it. I didn‘t like it. I was glad when it was over. I feel bad saying that, but it was just not for me. That said, it‘s a quick read. Perhaps, to the target audience, it would come across as relatable and real, but for me it was just lacking. There‘s lots of sex references in it, which didn‘t bother me, but I didn‘t find them really interesting.

I am obsessed with Catherine Cohen. I have queued in the rain to see her, I have dispatched my boyfriend to queue in the rain for tickets, and I thought this book of poems would have to be a let down but it WASNT. funny, meaningful, relatable in a way that made me laugh and think without just being ‘oh I do that too hashtag relatable‘. I wasn‘t expecting her to be so natural at being melancholy when she wants to around the comedy?
