She strips the world of easy sentiment, highlighting\u0026amp;nbsp;the visceral quality of experience, its nightmare hauntings, and its premonitions\u0026amp;nbsp;of disaster. The intensity of the poems, and their focus on the effects of violence,\u0026amp;nbsp;madness, degeneracy, despair, and birth, combine with a Gothic sense of beauty,\u0026amp;nbsp;and at times, a deadpan wit. The collection is divided into three parts, personal and\u0026amp;nbsp;domestic scenes, old and new worlds, and poems dealing with the cruelties suffered\u0026amp;nbsp;and inflicted by the human animal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46861498646686,"sku":"ADS-9781922146519","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781922146519.jpg?v=1779252912","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781922146519","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
