An acutely drawn arena of adolescent growth in a world on the brink is frequently depicted from a midwestern perspective, especially evident in the poems \"Gargantuan,\" \"Life on Mars,\" and \"Charlton Heston is Dead,\" recently anthologized in Teresa Chuc's \u003cem\u003eNuclear Impact: Broken Atoms in our Hands\u003c\/em\u003e. While the body of poems often pose more questions than answers regarding the self-fracturing happenings of familial loss, societal violence, climate-change, and addiction, these questions effectively function as an ever-present texture that inhabits the chapbook.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Hess\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1646627288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781646627288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Finishing Line Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/14\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.08d","brand":"Joseph Hess","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43945893003519,"sku":"9781646627288","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c966cd74-fa76-4429-8a14-1c2757f71dcc.jpg?v=1681510357","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/trauma-decor-joseph-hess-9781646627288","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
