Sick of Being Inside Myself: Poems - Tapa blanda

Sick of Being Inside Myself (Paperback)

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This is the new Alexandra Naughton poetry collection. You know her. She's been publishing critically acclaimed books for over a decade. She wrote one about Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins, and another that loosely referenced Lana Del Rey. Prolific as hell. She had a baby and now lives in Philly. She's a menace when it comes to karaoke. Her latest literary adventure, this one, deals with geographical longing, sus relationships, pop-culture obsession, strip-mall memories, abstract conversations with people at parties, and just typical Millennial malaise involving small joys hidden within ordinary traumas. "Alexandra somehow melds lurking on Myspace, watching Godfather Part III with a toxic ex (and then having euphoric recall about it), and objectifying the self into such a perfect bouquet. Shame has never been so fun! Poems [that are] equally punchy as they are tender as they are funny. Like how even a hundred years later a painting can make a bruise on a fruit look beautiful. I enjoyed them a lot!"-EM FRANK, author of Heavenly Days and I Am Trying to Love You "Alexandra Naughton's Sick of Being Inside Myself is an ode to feminine apocalypse-an earth-shattering realization that we are always living and dying-where receipts are tokens, TV is church, and poems are for everyone, this collection is a spectacle where the speaker is enamored by what the reader has."-CARSON JORDAN, author of Good for Her "What does the self even mean? Alexandra repeatedly asks this question because we all troll ourselves; she's smart enough to recognize it. The honesty we portray ourselves as flummoxed by the glimmer of the online and mindless media consumption, like the ambience of a family now replaced by the hit of Netflix, of rewatching Dexter and The Sopranos, comfort foods for the mind. Her question of 'Am I shadow banned or am I just not that interesting?' hits like a ton of bricks. Even now, that question still hurts, as the online has become the real and the offline the unreal."-BEACH SLOTH, author of Mark's My Friend and It Doesn't Matter What You Look Like on the Outside It's What's on the Internet That Counts This item is printed on demand.
