WillieWorld — Maggie J. Dubris

When Maggie Dubris's epic prose-poem WillieWorld was published by Richard Hell's Cuz Editions in 1998, it was an immediate underground sensation. Drawn from the author's experience as a 911 paramedic in New York City in the mid-eighties and early nineties, WillieWorld was described as "a stunning debut .. . with sentences that, at any turn, could tear your heart open," (Ammiel Alcalay) . . . "scary and dreamy; heartbreaking, funny, and gorgeous.” (Richard Hell)
