She explores and interrogates aspects of power in her own Southern origins and in her contemporary life. A dark humor pervades these spare meditations on childhood, erotic desire, and domestic arrangements.\u003cbr\u003e -Robin Becker, judge of the Charlotte Mew Prize and author of \u003ci\u003eThe Black Bear Inside Me\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith tenderness and precision, Luiza Flynn-Goodlett writes us into a landscape of memory and precarity. Her poems are lanterns, each one lighting us a path into the past and the future. Exploring the themes of girlhood, violence, and desire, this collection shows us a world full of both wonder and brutality. Its pared-down images and moments of stillness shape each line into the cadence of prayer. Flynn-Goodlett's voice is unforgettable: she balances playfulness and pain, secrecy and clarity, hauntedness and hope. \u003cbr\u003e-K-Ming Chang, author of \u003ci\u003ePast Lives, Future Bodies\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBestiary\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLuiza Flynn-Goodlett's \u003ci\u003eTender Age\u003c\/i\u003e is a reckoning with the historical forces that give shape to the interior world. In these poems, the refuge of queer love and intimate partnership is always already in tension with both the outside world of racial and gender-based violence, and the genetic and cultural inheritance of religion, landscape, and white Southern identity. The speaker's domestic life is not a shelter, but a grappling. \u003ci\u003eTender Age\u003c\/i\u003e shows us how love and language can build a bridge between what confines and what empowers. These poems live in the liberating space between.\u003cbr\u003e-Sophia Starmack, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Wild Rabbit\u003c\/i\u003e (Deadly Chaps Press, 2015) \u003cp\u003e\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 0.08 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 16, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47351587602681,"sku":"9781733534529","price":16.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/ZDVldWRYbmdsdVBiTTFrV3hJVGZ4UT09.webp?v=1769800589","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/tender-age-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
