Description
About the Book
"You're Gonna Love This tells the story of three entwined relationships: those between the narrator of the poem and her spouse, her television, and herself. A distinctly working-class long poem with a sharply nuanced media literacy, You're Gonna Love This explores how television and media culture's around-the-clock presence impacts our views of the world and our connection to it. At the same time, these poems consider caretaking and the narrator's journey as a caregiver, addressing the steps in her own mental-health journey with dark humour, wry cultural references, and deeply personal stories. You're gonna love You're Gonna Love This."--Book Synopsis
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!
