Bandit/Queen: The Runaway Story of Belle Starr
is a polyphonic, docupoetic project exploring Belle Starr, a notorious

is a polyphonic, docupoetic project exploring Belle Starr, a notorious
Wild West outlaw, and her unsolved murder in 1889. Belle Starr traded a
privileged upbringing for a life on the lam-marrying outlaws, thieving,
and providing shelter for criminal gangs, all with her signature brocade
and purple hats. After the media locked into her story, Belle Starr
rocketed to fame. She became a compelling anti-hero, icon, and
criminal mastermind-The Female Jesse James. Newspapers and books
fabricated details about Belle, and a mass delusion seemingly took hold.
But who was Belle Starr? Where do fiction and fact overlap? Today's
evolving media ecosystem-fake news, deep fakes, carefully controlled
social media profiles-underscore the enduring appeal of the person vs
persona tension. A feminist analog to Michael Ondaatje's Collected Works of Billy the Kid,
this archive-driven book merges documentary poetry by Margot Douaihy
with scratchboard illustrations by Bri Hermanson to examine identity,
desire, rule breaking, and (in)authenticity.
