This poetry lives in the uncomfortable space between sincerity and self-defense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\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\n \n\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","brand":"Mira Gonzalez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48308198015227,"sku":"9781968043322","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/unnamed_e28866b9-bffb-4e21-9804-0c38f650bfc5.jpg?v=1776869450","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/i-never-said-i-wanted-to-feel-good-9781968043322","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
