TRAILER TRASH: Poetry Chapbook
TRAILER TRASH
Poems by Andie Woodard
These poems discuss internalized classism, as well as the mental and environmental conditions that often accompany poverty, especially in the south: uneducated sexual exploration (and exploitation), untreated mental illness, addiction, insecure attachment in relationships, and religious idealization. For people living in poverty, these characteristics are inherited, and this collection explores that generational trauma through free-verse and erasure poetry. The work also explores “lifestyles” that are not accepted in the Bible Belt, like sexual liberation, queer relationships, and a refusal to look at trauma as something that “made you stronger.” TRAILER TRASH is for anyone who needs their hurt to be reflected back to them and their rage to be validated so that they might finally walk the path, without interruption, toward healing and hope.
Reviews
“[Trailer Trash is m]emoric poetry about how patriarchy and classism come together to harrow the living experience of people who are women or who have been socialized by women. It’s about isolation, abuse, desperation, and how systems lock up voices. […] Classism is so abundant that it can be hard to recognize it from your environment. Trailer Trash embraces the raw and constantly evolving nature of trauma and abuse and survival. Sometimes we need a breadcrumb trail. […] Memoir and poetry are two genres that are incredibly linked but rarely spoken together. This collection is memoir as poetry and it works so well with the form.”
—Praise for Trailer Trash from The Racket
“Andie had a lively and fun presence, using gestures and enthusiastic body language to convey her interest and passion in her subject. She handled a problem with technology–midway through her presentation—with grace and ease. Her friendly and engaged manner was one of her greatest strengths. […] Her handout complemented her presentation very well, with some good specific tips and specific apps that I think many writers will appreciate.”

Praise for “Babysitting Your Book” Presentation
“[Andie’s screenplay] deals with themes on the sacrifices we make for the ones we love, and the poor treatment many face working in corporate America. Watching Francesca’s story unfold is a captivating journey. […] We find a character who has had a life of hardship, finally realize that they can take back their power, and then do so in the most ridiculous way. This story is an excellent example of the writer’s ability to create in the comedic genre, and is sure to impress audiences for a long time. Great work!”

Praise for “Francesca Foote,” Short Screenplay
“When I asked Andie whether she would be up to the task of writing high-quality, long-form content for us, she said it would be like a walk in the park. I was very skeptical. The next day I had an article that exceeded all my expectations. Since then she’s always delivered, I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
—Christian Nkurunziza, Founder of TenScores
“A terrific writer/editor with infinite SEO knowledge… She is an exceptional coordinator, communicator and, most of all, motivator who truly leads by example. Her confounding positivity and good humor (on a daily basis) are traits that simply can’t be taught—and rarely exhibited so consistently by people in management positions.”
