Mistrust and dread become part of the fabric of their lives, as they never know who may be a turncoat--a person who disguises her allegiances and traffics in betrayal. These poems employ an invented paranoid syntax meant to evade oppressive surveillance. A series of intimate and darkly humorous incidents press the speaker to continually adapt to unseen--or even nonexistent--dangers. Haunted by a sense of disorientation and uncertainty about whether old friendships may have been compromised, or if spaces could disappear overnight, Bendall's poems coax the reader to step across boundaries and snares, alternating between episodes of interrogation and flight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Molly Bendall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1632431696\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781632431691\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Omnidawn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 78\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Molly Bendall","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46927876587775,"sku":"9781632431691","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_430b7f49-8bbe-490a-baf8-e39e1c67847c.jpg?v=1749373243","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/turncoat-molly-bendall-9781632431691","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
