In \u003cem\u003eBuzzkill Clamshell\u003c\/em\u003e, her third poetry collection, Amber Dawn circumvents the expectations of so-called confessional poetry, offering twisted mythmaking, extreme hyperbole, and lyrical gutter-mouthing that explore themes of sick and disabled queerness, aging, and desire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith poems populated by severed heads, domme swan maidens, horny oracles, and other horrible purveyors of pleasure, \u003cem\u003eBuzzkill Clamshell\u003c\/em\u003e reads as if a leather dyke and a demonic goat had a baby―gleefully embracing the perverse while stomping its way through chronic pain and complex PTSD.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlready acclaimed for her candid and often kinky verse, Amber Dawn pushes further into trauma-informed eroticism with self-assured irreverence and uncomfortable abjectivity. Beneath her brilliant, carnivalesque imagery lies a prayer―not for the pain to end, but for finding fantastic new ways to cope with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arsenal Pulp Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781551529790\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.83w x 0.39d","brand":"Amber Dawn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45169519427765,"sku":"9781551529790","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_a3c328bc-bd18-4e3c-9790-00850eb7d168.jpg?v=1741703424","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/buzzkill-clamshell-9781551529790","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
