Madeline Levy is a Jersey belle just trying to make it in the Big Easy. She's been referred to as a mix between a "manic, pixie dream girl" and a "happy, harpy nap lady." She can be found reading her poetry in front of half lit New Orleans folks, in the back of dimly-lit barrooms where jukeboxes play loud enough to make a soundtrack for her set. Perfume & Cigarettes is her first collection of poetry.
