It is a giving of permission to the self, to exist as messily as ( i s ). These poems are a record of navigation through longing and dis [ place ] ment of the body and of place, a shattering of expectation(s) of the self and of family, often through dreams, food and eroticism. This is an attempt at freedom. 'blur by the' is a yearning for freedom from grief, memory, and-ultimately-from definition. The form through which the poems take in 'blur by the' is dancing-in-your-bedroom free, un-velcro-ed false bravado free. The poems eat a lot and hope to feed you too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinner of the 2020 Anne Elder Award\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShortlisted for the 2020 Small Press Network Book of the Year Award\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShortlisted for the 2020 Mary Gilmore Award\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShortlisted for the 2020 ACT Writing \u0026amp; Publishing Award\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.22 x 7 x 4.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 20, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47350488596729,"sku":"9780648147541","price":15.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/VGhhTlBIaGxUVlAwTGdlTFZTUDdEUT09_e7f40761-3831-45f8-9d1e-98c6669aa883.webp?v=1769786515","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/blur-by-the-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
