{"product_id":"say-one-thing-9780984102549","title":"Say One Thing","description":"Poetry. Who's the queen of kundalini bloopers, Emily Dickinson's attitude problem (that bitch) and California dreams? It's Melissa Broder, who will charm your pants off and show you a little tough love in this vivid, witty first collection of poems. Each poem is artisan-crafted in controlled couplets, weighty triplets, tight syllabics and assonance that will take the top of your head off. But you won't have the time to absorb the academic monkeyshine so absorbed you'll be on the flip side of Bat Mitzvah stress-syndrome, Aunt Sheila's in Taos, vampires in absentia, and brand names, brand names, brand names. From junkie fetishism to a housewife with a special \"thing\" for laundry, Broder does dark with magnetic charisma and enchanting humor.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBroder, Melissa:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Melissa Broder is also the author of MEAT HEART (Publishing Genius Press, 2012) and WHEN YOU SAY ONE THING BUT MEAN YOUR MOTHER (Ampersand Books, 2010), which \u003cem\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/em\u003e calls \"as funny and hip as it is disturbing.\" Poems appear or are forthcoming in \u003cem\u003eGuernica\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eRedivider\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Missouri Review\u003c\/em\u003e online, \u003cem\u003eDrunken Boat\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eCourt Green\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eBarrelhouse\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eOpium\u003c\/em\u003e and more.
