Charm OffensiveRoss WhitePublisher: Eyewear PublishingJuly 1 2023EAN: 9781913606626ISBN: 1913606627Synopsis: Charm Offensive, Ross White's debut poetry collection, explores the spa ce between Dickinson's directive to tell the truth slant and the universal reality of seeing the truth slant without knowing it. Charting the ways that tenderness can resolve into dissonance and uncertainty can resolve into transcendence, Charm Offensive crackles with the dangers of being alive and the joys of remaining defiant. At turns playful and surreal, exuberant and somber, these poems urge readers to find something new to trust in the world. Show more
