Reviews
"Like many first collections concerned with the broad categories body and place , Strange Valentine carries a sense of urgency: these poems had to be written. But unlike many urgent-feeling first books, the language in these poems is playful and interesting. A vernacular sensibility traces back to the locations the poems depict-trailer parks, bedrooms, hospital rooms, church-and there finds the sources of a fierce love. Common as its content and vocabulary may be, these poems are not merely plain-spoken narratives; they tell it straight and slant, they pucker, cuss, pause for a smoke, cut loose, then close down or open up. They come at you like a country song, layered with cockiness, longing, raw sweetness, heartache, and just plain heart. Unafraid to go over the top or to dig deep, they are honest without being too earnest."- Julia Kasdorf , author of Eve's Striptease, "A. Loudermilk's Strange Valentine celebrates the tattered glamour of circus 'freaks' and trailer park matrons. Unforgettable narratives and tender lyrics weave pop culture and social history into a seamless and surprising vision. Loudermilk's genius exploration of gender, class, and race is gutsy and gut wrenching. Strange Valentine is a haunting and important first book."- Denise Duhamel , author of Queen for a Day: New and Selected Poems, A.

Product is 95% alike picture but a little more blurry. Controller play well but had a notice from psn that my joypad wasn't authentic and could by problematic🤷♂️ no trouble so far! Shipping was fast but no tracking and worst packaging ever.. like the box came banged up... send a question to seller never had a reply 😅.... Good product overall, excellent price, fast shipping, wrapped only on 4 sides out of 6, no tracking and never reply... 4★ product / 2★ seller ✌️

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
