They bring their heartbreak to life by continuing to build from it. What we get from this collection is their perspective after the climb, the surveying of all they’ve gotten away from \u0026amp; everything that’s made them. Phipps writes, “One\/day, I’m going to take this wild garden mouth and make it grow something.” What a joy that we get to hold what Bianca has grown. - Melissa Lozada-Oliva, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/buttonpoetry.com\/product\/peluda\/\"\u003eauthor of \u003cem\u003ePeluda\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eBetween \u003cem\u003eCrown Noble\u003c\/em\u003e’s imagined histories and yearn filled escapes to alternate timelines, Bianca Phipps' poems are always tethered to home. The nerve-shaking honesty with which Phipps interrogates the complexity of that tether, ‘with anger, with adoration,’ is what makes this collection a stunning meditation on familial bonds, inheritance, and what we owe to where we come from. - Kevin Kantor, author of \u003cem\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/buttonpoetry.com\/product\/please-come-off-book\/\"\u003ePlease Come Off-Book\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Button Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43275927224371,"sku":"978-1-943735-79-2","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/0752\/9011\/files\/b4a0d134-Phipps-CN-marketing-cover-1.jpg?v=1744752042","url":"https:\/\/buttonbookstore.com\/products\/crown-noble-1","provider":"Button Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
