Tracy Youells Poetry and Art

Welcome to my website! Here you can read sample poems from my chapbook, Between the Parking Lots, and my zine, Slip Into Something Human. There are also pictures and poems from my installation, Monument to the Expendable Population, which was built in 2000 and 2005. If you would like to purchase a chapbook or a zine, or if you would like more information on the Monument, please feel free to e-mail me at tracyouells@yahoo.com, or to snail-mail me at P.O. Box 792, Bryn Mawr, PA 19010. You can also purchase Between the Parking Lots at Robin's Bookstore, 108 S. 13th Street, Philadelphia.

The cover to the first issue of my zine  Slip Into Something Human ($2), which combines photos, graphics and quotes from George Batailles with my poems. Click on the image to see a sample page from this issue. Issue 2 is also available;  Zine World called it "elegant" and "decadent." The Philadelphia Zine Fest is Sunday, October 7 at the Rotunda. I'll have a table there and Issue 3 will be available. Stop by and say hi!

G. Emil Reutter wrote in his review: "Youells' ability to blend images in her poetry that would not normally be seen together is quite amazing." www.velvetillusion.com/ gemilreutter-author
