Dedicated to her two younger sisters, in this volume of poems (And lies), Pixie Prince, the alter ego of TL Banks shares exploits and dirty admissions about the never-ending, fantastic, yet failed, pseudo-imaginary relationships (which would these days be called situationships and entanglements) Ms. Prince has had over the years in TL's body. The poetic musings are dramatic, touching, exciting, and painful and both sides of the author needed to express it as it happened not only for catharsis but as a warning to all others exploring themselves and love and life- you are NOT in control. As TL would say on Pixie's behalf, " Do not let it deter you. And do not avoid it." These poems were for her sisters to help them avoid the same pitfalls and maybe, just maybe, another hopelessly romantic reader, might learn a little more about themselves through these words as well.

Hello, Poetry lovers and Pixie Prince fans,
Hopefully, you will find here all of the information that you need about me, the Author, TL Banks, and my work. I like to think of myself as what would happen if girls could have babies with girls- My parents would be Dorothy Parker and Nikki Giovanni, for sure.
Just so that you are aware, without having asked permission or being legally affiliated in any way, purchasing any of my books also supports women's shelters in the Midwest and Southern Nevada that house displaced women and children that have been affected by domestic violence or sexual assault. Spending your reading dollars with me not only provides you with a little piece of my art but also helps others in need. Reading and sharing are fundamental tasks to creating a more artistic environment for all!
I am a mother of one, essay and scholarship winner for poetry, a self-publisher, a blogger, an opinion columnist, and a halfway decent karaoke singer if there is whiskey involved!
Thank you for supporting me!
