by Joanna Fuhrman (Author)
Fuhrman's fourth book of pop-surrealist lyrical poetry undermines contemporary constructs of beauty with an absurdist's eye for detail. She playfully manipulates the language of commodity culture to spark social awareness and inspire simultaneous laughter and mindful mortification.
