In this collection, God is a hopeless and dangerous flirt, mothers die and are resurrected, and disappointing lovers run like hell for the margins. With effortless swagger and confessional candor, Condon lays bare the thrill of lust and its subsequent shame. In poems brimming with \"the desire \/ to be desired\" by men, by God, by lovers' other women, by oneself, she renders a world in which wildflowers are coated in ash and dark bedrooms flicker with the blue light of longing. The speaker implores like an undressed wound: \"is it wrong to feel a hurt kind of beautiful?\" Ecstatic and incisive, \u003ci\u003ePraying Naked \u003c\/i\u003eis a daring sexual and spiritual reckoning by a breathtaking new poet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKatie Condon's poems have appeared in \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePrairie Schooner, \u003c\/i\u003e and her work has received support from the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference and \u003ci\u003eTin House\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 64\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.18 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 19, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51758755938592,"sku":"9780814255735","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/4e252f28f6cafc52a087311ebdc35a9c.webp?v=1780134659","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/praying-naked-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
