Carrie Schiffler Knihy

From the Corner of Bad and Ass is a collection of Carrie Schiffler's memories about growing up in welfare housing to absentee, alcoholic parents. Throughout these heart-wrenching, often-hilarious stories we cheer her on as she fights to survive domestic violence, sexual abuse, and cycles of poverty and addiction ― all before her 18th birthday. Prepare to laugh at her attempts to earn the attention she craves and prepare to cry over the inappropriate attention she receives.

Umbilicus is a meditation on sensuality, sex, blood, hunger, and the sweet ache of shame's hangover. Carrie Schiffler is an actor, writer, and former exotic dancer. Johanna Stickland is a photographer, painter, poet, and former fashion model. Both are smitten by the female form, intrigued by unpolished beauty and drawn to dark pubs and radiant beings equally. Not only do they share similar interests, they also share DNA. Carrie and Johanna are mother and daughter. Umbilicus is their gift to one another and to those who wish the experience.
