In these poems, readers will find a celestial and transcendent re-discovering of the self; an unravelling of society's expectations of gender, love, and desire, and how these falsehoods threaten to eclipse our truth. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePhases\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e is mercurial and unpredictable, a celebration of the non-conformist in each of us.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 122\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.26 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 13, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46589847994565,"sku":"9781989398449","price":29.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/jGwYUkbpp39781989398449.webp?v=1784974186","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/phases-poetry-by-belinda-betker-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
