{"product_id":"9780996586863","title":"The Dead Girls Speak In Unison","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Danielle Pafunda abolishes the stereotype of prissy, dainty girls in her thrilling poetry collection The Dead Girls Speak in Unison. Set in a surrealistic underworld, takes on the collective voice of empowered female corpses and ironically uses quaint language and structure to describe the true nature of women. […] Pafunda’s collection leaves readers craving more of its 'rotten pages.' 'If you’re looking for something pretty,' don’t look here. \u003cstrong\u003e—\u003cem\u003eVerse\u003c\/em\u003e, Brittany Capps • \u003c\/strong\u003e\"We don’t often see choral speakers, but speaking in unison gives these 'girls' collective presence, forcing us to face gender violence. [T]he girls gain a certain power in this…raw girls who bypass maturity, who are as rank and offensive as possible.
