An acutely drawn arena of adolescent growth in a world on the brink is frequently depicted from a midwestern perspective, especially evident in the poems \"Gargantuan,\" \"Life on Mars,\" and \"Charlton Heston is Dead,\" recently anthologized in Teresa Chuc's \u003cem\u003eNuclear Impact: Broken Atoms in our Hands\u003c\/em\u003e. While the body of poems often pose more questions than answers regarding the self-fracturing happenings of familial loss, societal violence, climate-change, and addiction, these questions effectively function as an ever-present texture that inhabits the chapbook.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.08 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 14, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42744479875135,"sku":"9781646627288","price":25.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/3d1c9630518f0cf8c3d841ad2229862b.webp?v=1765168371","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/trauma-decor-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
