Background

Pink Privacy was the debut collection of poems published by Yatrofsky. In Yatrofsky's Pink Privacy, sexual desire and sick burns form language simultaneously comedic, sad, and ferociously sensual.[2] Yatrofsky's poems draw from high-minded art school theory to schoolyard taunts. The lesson of Pink Privacy is pity to those who have fucked its author.[3]
