This poetry lives in the uncomfortable space between sincerity and self-defense.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough honest, raw, and simple descriptions, these poems don't offer lessons so much as evidence: evidence of being alive in a body that wants things it doesn't know how to ask for, evidence of loving recklessly, and evidence of anxiety that knows it is being watched.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the poetic powder keg, where the self-deprecating sass of Lily Allen meets the uncomfortable honestly of \u003ci\u003eGirls\u003c\/i\u003e. Favoring confession over redemption and honesty over spectacle, \u003ci\u003eI Never Said I Wanted to Feel Good\u003c\/i\u003e offers intimacy that feels almost accidental. Mira Gonzalez serves a moment in time and that moment is now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mira Gonzalez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1968043322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781968043322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clash Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/09\/2027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Mira Gonzalez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48659719389439,"sku":"9781968043322","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/i-never-said-i-wanted-mira-gonzalez-9781968043322","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
