A rant elegy swerving like a euphoric requiem, over 200 short, blunt letters catapult us into an epic odyssey. Rowdy and transcendent, we zig zag through tightly-braided random moments, street slang, Shakespeare, Spanglish and over-wrought metaphors. This queer Covid narrative spews sexy rage and body parts like a swamp monster of grief - a hydra sprouting infinite heads from fresh wounds for the beloved. A female-centric opera and hybrid text, GAUDY SORROW flickers like a dead lightbulb, dazzling and bereft.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67967945343199,"sku":"9798888384442","price":24.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/caH3tcQkUG9798888384442.webp?v=1791748362"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/barbara-seyda.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
