Jarringly poetic wisdom from a woman who grew up standing on the back seat of a '68 Barracuda with a book of Dorothy Parker's poetry in her gritty fingers.

Produktbeschreibung
Jarringly poetic wisdom from a woman who grew up standing on the back seat of a '68 Barracuda with a book of Dorothy Parker's poetry in her gritty fingers. Feral Woman is Aimee Hope's debut as a serious poet with rebellious fist in the air, baring her canines while exposing the depth of her soul. Fearlessly, she invites you into quiet slivers of the overlooked truth of life, invoking poetic beauty that can only be found in the sticky shadows attached to each of us. Hope drags her skeletons from the closet and unapologetically spreads them out to be examined; dances with them alone in the night, to kick-ball-change until dawn; leaving us a postcard, filled with brutal vigilante justice in the form of verse. Bearing her scars, she delivers the promise that despite all the difficulties, life is still beautiful and worthy of a second or third look, despite the performative circus of existence, all around us. Hope reaffirms that the spirit of art is a worthy and sacred path, necessary for survival. Daring to dive deeper beneath the chaos of a tumultuous Wyoming small town upbringing in a high desert childhood, and Midwest societal norms, Hope has a perspective that can only come from overcoming. Her words illustrate the world and people she encounters with a sense of resilient whimsy and at times the gut punch to your heart, riding away bareback with a satisfied grin on her face.
Autorenporträt
Aimee Hope is a feral woman, artist and poet. Having spent her early years at her mother's feet on newsroom floors listening to the keys of typewriters and carriage release levers furiously clacking out stories; writing is in Hope's blood. Growing up in rural Wyoming near Yellowstone Park, Hope was surrounded by inspiration of the beauty of the Rocky Mountains and the contrast of her liberal mother shaking up a conservative community. Hope took to writing on notebooks, napkins and scraps of paper to make sense of a tumultuous childhood. After attending her first year of college on a creative writing scholarship she won at a high school writing festival, Hope decided to attend nursing school and went on to own a healthcare business for over a decade. She never stopped writing.Hope's work has been published in various anthologies and publications over the years, but Feral Woman is her debut as a serious poet. After spending three decades working as a Registered Nurse, Hope has gathered her spunk and set out to show you how passionate and feral she really is.
