Their feminist curiosity leads them to poems about gender identity, marriage equality, and the complexities of national politics. Assembled shortly before Maureen's death, the poems in Tilt tell the story of a friendship rooted in collaborative artistic play. The title of the book gives a nod to the earth's tilt, which gives us seasons, but also hints that the poems were written at full tilt, these poets hyperaware they only had so much time left to write with one another. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeautiful People\u003c\/i\u003e was written back and forth over the course of several months by poets Maureen Seaton and Aaron Smith. Bold and inventive, it moves from sonnets and sestinas to prose poems and so much more. While its center is a love for poetry and art and laughter, the poets also grapple with mortality, sadness, and what it means to be alive on a broken but beautiful planet. Through their literary friendship, they put a mirror to all our lovely faces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Denise Duhamel, Maureen Seaton, Aaron Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1957946210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781957946214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bridwell Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/14\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Denise Duhamel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46907025785087,"sku":"9781957946214","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_79c56567-639b-4446-a6b4-b518a0927a08.jpg?v=1748772092","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tilt-beautiful-people-denise-duhamel-9781957946214","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
