Zirconia introduced a speaker described as half-smirking, half-weeping by the Village Voice. Minnis heralded the gurlesque, a term coined for the occasion and defined as a feminine, feminist incorporating of the grotesque and cruel with the spangled and dreamy. Bad Bad ushers Zirconias juvenile persona into unblushing womanhood. The poems are equally clownish and fuck-offish, taking on with equivocal weightlessness the lexicons and trimmings of fashion, as it applies to the Self and the garments that clothe the Self, and self-obliteration. Minnis addresses the inner needs of the poet-the purpose of poetry is to seem as lifelike as possible so that you actually exist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51320973066528,"sku":"NEW1944380116","price":13.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81834rMTJiL.jpg?v=1773084812","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/zirconia-bad-bad-1944380116","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
