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 heart-breaking 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTESTIMONIALS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eA collection brimming with tender observations, sword-sharp wit, and moments rendered so vividly in poetry that you'll see them like scenes like a movie, Guthrie has created a phenomenal testament to the heady heights and treacherous turns of loving in the modern world.

Guthrie indulges us throughout – in pop culture, in intimacy, in reflection – to sink us in the SCORPIO SZN of our dreams. - \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKATIE O’PRAY\u003c\/strong\u003e,\u003cstrong\u003e author, APRICOT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThese are compelling, raw, living, breathing poems. Soft and vulnerable yet empowered, they fizz with lust and yearning and spin us around beds, sulphuric mornings', kitchens, mothers, daughters and sisterhood as well as offering vital questions for our current moment. They bring a mystical shine to the every day; the cheesy chips, the Whatsapps and the fuckboys in concrete cities. This is a playful and contemporary voice. - \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCECILIA KNAPP, author, LITTLE BOXES \u0026amp; PEACH PIG\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn Scorpio SZN, Guthrie wills the reader into her material world, with a restless exploration of the personal, sharply anchored throughout with a celebration of proper nouns, content, and consumption. In a narrative that portrays the intimate, the technological, and the ecological all revelling in each other’s discomfort, Guthrie’s screen-time-induced poetry provides a distinct and memorable voice on love and loss. \u003c\/em\u003e– \u003cstrong\u003eCHARLOTTE SHEVCHENKO-KNIGHT, author, FOOD FOR THE DEAD\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ella Sadie Guthrie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52911780462929,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/5852\/7057\/files\/IMG_7222_1.jpg?v=1769515524","url":"https:\/\/ellasadieguthrie.com\/products\/scorpio-szn","provider":"Ella Sadie Guthrie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
