We are beautiful and monstrous. We live in a beautiful and monstrous world. Ellen Hagan poetically mirrors these metaphoric adversaries, drawing on her experiences as a woman, an artist, a mother, a transplanted southerner, and above all, a human being. She plumbs origins in history, body, and living to question how we reckon our whole selves in the catacombs of a world gone mad: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWe mourn, we bless, \/ we blow, we wail, we \/ wind--down, we sip, \/ we spin, we blind, we \/ bend, bow \u0026amp; hem.

This is a work where the legacy is still evolving and always asking questions in real time. \u003ci\u003eBlooming Fiascos\u003c\/i\u003e spindles poetry that is not afraid to see itself and the lives it inhabits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ellen Hagan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810143143\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810143142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Triquarterly Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 0.40d","brand":"Ellen Hagan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44540656681215,"sku":"9780810143142","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_abbff26a-b7c9-4879-b987-d99f7365b49f.jpg?v=1700589135","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blooming-fiascoes-ellen-hagan-9780810143142","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
