Publisher's Synopsis
After the success of her pamphlet Poems For Pete Davidson, Ella Sadie Guthrie introduces us to Scorpio SZN: an exploration of love in all its forms.
Named Scorpio SZN after the intense reputation Scorpios have garnered for being deep lovers with a penchant for revenge, in this book Guthrie explores the relationships that have shaped her through visceral metaphor and sometimes slightly unsettling imagery, (with no mention of Pete Davidson in sight). What starts as a collection of poems about falling in love and the aftermath of it, quickly turns into an examination of how the past can make us who we are and how to overcome it. Get ready for heartbreaking declarations of love and surreal, out-of-this-world imagery grounded in the concrete memory of a Nike sports dress or the door of an IKEA flat-pack wardrobe.
Playful yet raw, Scorpio SZN is the antidote for anyone who's ever felt bruised by love.
