With bold approaches that seek to unravel the nature of patriarchal realities, Hanna Tawater's poetry captures the fury of modern female rage encased in the unblinking demeanor of the serpent. The text echoes across time, space, thought, and phylum, and transports the reader to a place where you will always find the apex to be cold-blooded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChelsea Hodson, author of \u003cem\u003eTonight I'm Someone Else\u003c\/em\u003e, says, \u003c\/strong\u003e\"These are poems of transformation--birds become reptiles, snakes become women, time becomes skin, the Ouroboros becomes itself. 'Between the idea \/ and reality \/ you were my favorite moment, ' one of the poems reads, and, with this, the changes themselves become journeys worthy of our attention. \u003cem\u003eReptilia\u003c\/em\u003e is bold, smart, and engrossing.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRios De La Luz, author of Itza, says, \u003c\/strong\u003e \"Tawater's poetry is an eruption of lavish imagery and an undeniably erotic aura.

How close and how far are we to each other. An uncanny, haunting, and singular work.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJuliet Escoria, author of Witch Hunt, says, \u003c\/strong\u003e \"Reading Reptilia feels like slowly opening a Pandora's box of sorts, as though by doing you are unearthing something ancient and alluring and powerful and wicked. These are not poems but spells, and with them Hanna Tawater establishes herself as writer who demands not just to be read, but reckoned with.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 108\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.22 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 18, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42737215045695,"sku":"9780692065303","price":19.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/7209a5a557fe337feb61d6bf92e4f7ee.webp?v=1765149203","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/reptilia-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
