Through poems that riff on Frankenstein, pop culture, pub lore, found images and borrowed forms, Muir writes the middle child's sensibility as a kind of heightened surveillance, noticing how bodies are appraised, threatened, desired, marketed, and made to perform. The collection moves with restless tonal agility, from the blistering vignette of 'cool facts about electricity' to the tender absurdity of 'Justin', from the relish of a handbag raised against a neo-Nazi march to the lyricism of 'ode to my menstrual cup'. Across the book, domestic objects become portals, photographs become moral tests, and memory behaves like a myth being revised in real time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 38\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.09 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 31, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47392263962873,"sku":"9781917617598","price":18.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/xKtxKN-Va09781917617598_08660048-3eb4-48f2-b1c4-14be4be91152.webp?v=1770237005","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/middle-child-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
