Against a backdrop of oppression mundane practices of it become radical acts of resistance. Causally read, this collection is about romantic love; more broadly it examines how we courageously decide our days. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDefined as mutual trust, care, and acceptance intimacy expects the person practicing it to be vulnerable and vulnerability is inherently unsafe for oppressed people which challenges our primal survival instinct toward mutuality. This is the paradox that motivates these poems where subjects decide to endure in-or evade-intimacy. The choices determine not just who we do or don't spend our lives with but the courage with which we spend them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Darlene Anita Scott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798888388846\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 05\/09\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 36\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 0.09d","brand":"Darlene Anita Scott","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47135554797823,"sku":"9798888388846","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5157e297-a5d3-41c6-a202-57251c36348b.jpg?v=1755010497","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-weve-become-darlene-anita-scott-9798888388846","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
