Blurring the lines between pop culture criticism, fan fiction, \u0026amp; neighborhood gossip, it traces the slippery performances of the Dandy \u0026amp; the Trickster as they wander a street that glows too brightly \u0026amp; remembers too much. This is a book that fell asleep with the TV on \u0026amp; woke up mid-transformation: a Gemini-Cancer cusp of sentimentality \u0026amp; spectacle, tenderness \u0026amp; sabotage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this epic sequel to The Autobiography of Nancy Drew, RJ Ingram beckons us like a flashing neon light that’s eerily inviting. Set against the real \u0026amp; mythologized Peacock Lane of Portland—famous for its excessive Christmas lights—these poems unravel a persona who wants to become a labyrinth, who overcommits, overdecorates, \u0026amp; over feels. Moving through abandoned gas stations, prom committees, \u0026amp; long-distance phone calls that linger too long, the collection stages an investigation into identity as performance \u0026amp; survival as rehearsal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Confessions Of A Manic Pixie Replicant\" RJ Ingram (back cover poem)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere’s to tall girls laced in black leather boots \/ Eyeliner \u0026amp; jelly bracelets \u0026amp; parachute pants \/ Dripping with zippers \u0026amp; old aluminum can tabs \/ Strung on a guitar string \u0026amp; here’s to those who \/ Slink on catwalks above the high school auditorium \/ And recite soliloquies \u0026amp; patter songs to barflies sobering up with coffee \/ At Denny’s at three in the morning on a school night \/ Here’s to losing again at Magic The Gathering \/ And also losing the waitress’ phone number \/ She wrote on your mana with her big black sharpie \/ You might as well be your own Manic Pixie \/ Dream Girl diving into the cosmic deep end \/ After all when you’re the object of your own affection \/ It’s justified to fall for a bombshell fem-fatale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead the arranged Tarot Spreads | Turn to page 1 Pull a single card | Open the book at random\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44901205409815,"sku":"9781969414091","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/files\/1774720988-900.jpg?v=1775164790","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/ingram-rj-peacock-lapb","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
