Description:
Cosmic Tantrum examines how our most intimate relationships shape the way we move through the wider world, and what happens when we reject the stories we've inherited about our worth.
Review Quotes:
"As its title suggests, Sarah Lyn Rogers's Cosmic Tantrum brilliantly confronts society's infantilization of women by pulling an Uno reverse. What happens when society gets the "good girl" that it asks for? These poems rage during meditations, they defy in corporate emails, they turn their brattiness up so loud that we all turn to watch their meltdowns. But in our watching, we are forced to reckon with our own discomfort with Rogers's "outsized" anger. This book reminds us that a tantrum is often a result of our own inattention and neglect. How do we soothe the monster we've created?"--Taylor Byas, author of I Done Clicked My Heels Three Times
