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?\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e“A once-in-a-generation debut.”—Angel Nafis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This self-assured, dazzling debut has a story to tell.”—Aricka Foreman\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tin House Books","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42863188836432,"sku":"9781959030836B","price":7.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9781959030836-l.jpg?v=1788246348","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/fr\/products\/good-dress-poems","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
