A nontraditional coming of age, this collection witnesses a speaker coming into her own autonomy and selfhood as a young adult, reflecting on formative experiences. With care and incandescent energy, the poems engage with memory, time, interiority, and community. They also nudge tenderly toward curiosity: What does it mean to belong to a person, to a city? Can intimacy and romance be found outside the heteronormative confines of partnership? And in what ways can the pursuit of pleasure be an anchor that returns us to ourselves?","brand":"Brittany Rogers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":47794131697876,"sku":"9781959030836","price":23.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/9208\/files\/BNCImageAPI_0c31f898-8f63-41ee-8cdb-85b5c91e5b41.jpg?v=1776181201","url":"https:\/\/penguinshop.ca\/products\/9781959030836","provider":"Penguin Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
