Set in a surrealistic underworld, takes on the collective voice of empowered female corpses and ironically uses quaint language and structure to describe the true nature of women.

Set in the topsoil above the underworld, at the foot of empire, Pafunda's tenth book of poems takes place during a spring super-bloom, a colony collapse, an end-time. It's a lanky, muscular meditation on belonging--as both property and beloved. Pacing the road from desert to sea, unraveling gender from violence from capital, asking what happens when we finally refuse to dog eat dog our way through, this queer surrealist epic leaps from the Homeric hymns to post-punk lyrics, holding its tender friends, calling out its loves to play, slick with sex, illness, loss, and wonder.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51378518884575,"sku":"9781947817807","price":20.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/isKSjUGfZT9781947817807.webp?v=1789257959"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/danielle-pafunda.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
