A collection of tragicomic verses from the award-winning comedian, actress and millennial renaissance woman, Cat Cohen, entitled God I Feel Modern Tonight, is to be published this month. 

Cohen, the one-woman stand-up chanteuse who has electrified the downtown NYC comedy scene and Edinburgh Fringe in her white go-go boots, has been posting poignant, unfiltered poems on social media since before Instagram was a thing. A self-proclaimed, self-obsessed millennial on the prowl with her beaded bag, she ponders guys who call you dude after sex, English-major dreams, phone addiction, heartbreak and other weighty matters in these captivating short lyrics.

one time my ex- boyfriend broke up with me and

when we got back together

we made out next to a fountain and he said

“you’ve gotten better at that” and I said “at kissing?”

and he said “yeah”

and I laughed and felt very bad
