In hilarious and heartbreaking poems, Camille Guthrie writes about the trials and surprises of divorce, parenting, country life--and the difficulties and delights of being alone, looking at art, and falling in love.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWitty resilience abounds in these irreverent poems about grief and desire--in which the poet meditates upon gender roles, history, pop culture, and academia. Guthrie subverts and teases traditional forms in an elegy about Sylvia Plath's prom dress, a dating profile for Hieronymus Bosch, a sestina about beauty and power--with radical dramatic monologues in the voices of Madame du Barry, a Pict Woman, and more. Unlike Virgil, who refuses to guide this poet through her journey at midlife, Guthrie leads readers by the hand into a provoking, affecting journey of a break-up and a reconciliation with love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Camille Guthrie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1950774457\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781950774456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e BOA Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/05\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.83w x 0.32d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/19\/2021 pg. 188","brand":"Camille Guthrie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44048436134143,"sku":"9781950774456","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f375fa85-c5dc-4ffa-8776-db0e575b1425.jpg?v=1684995754","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/diamonds-camille-guthrie-9781950774456","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
