You're Gonna Love This tracks the narrator's entwined relationships with her spouse, her television, and herself. Displaying Del Bucchia's trademark nuanced media literacy, this distinctly working-class long poem unravels how media culture's around-the-clock presence impacts our connection to the world. Recapping episodes in her experience of caregiving, she also addresses her own mental-health journey with dark humour, wry cultural references, and a flair for making the deeply personal especially relatable. You're gonna love this!
