We are beautiful and monstrous. We live in a beautiful and monstrous world. Ellen Hagan poetically mirrors these metaphoric adversaries, drawing on her experiences as a woman, an artist, a mother, a transplanted southerner, and above all, a human being. She plumbs origins in history, body, and living to question how we reckon our whole selves in the catacombs of a world gone mad: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWe mourn, we bless, \/ we blow, we wail, we \/ wind--down, we sip, \/ we spin, we blind, we \/ bend, bow \u0026amp; hem. We \/ hip, we blend, we bind, \/ we shake, we shine, \/ shine.

This is a work where the legacy is still evolving and always asking questions in real time. \u003ci\u003eBlooming Fiascos\u003c\/i\u003e spindles poetry that is not afraid to see itself and the lives it inhabits. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Triquarterly Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39325941432420,"sku":"9780810143142","price":15.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/suomalainen-test.myshopify.com\/products\/blooming-fiascoes-poems","provider":"Suomalainen Test","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
