Bøker av Ella Sadie Guthrie

After the success of her pamphlet Poems For Pete Davidson, Ella Sadie Guthrie introduces us to Scorpio SZN: an exploration of love in all its forms. Named Scorpio SZN after the intense reputation Scorpios have garnered for being deep lovers with a penchant for revenge, in this book Guthrie explores the relationships that have shaped her through visceral metaphor and sometimes slightly unsettling imagery, (with no mention of Pete Davidson in sight). What starts as a collection of poems about falling in love and the aftermath of it, quickly turns into an examination of how the past can make us who we are and how to overcome it. Get ready for heartbreaking declarations of love and surreal, out-of-this-world imagery grounded in the concrete memory of a Nike sports dress or the door of an IKEA flat-pack wardrobe. Playful yet raw, Scorpio SZN is the antidote for anyone who's ever felt bruised by love.

Poems for Pete Davidson by Ella Sadie Guthrie reveals an electrifying new voice in poetry, a hypnotic joy ride with all the swagger of Zelda Fitzgerald at her debutant ball. The poems show the thrills and perils of obsessive fandom coupled with a heavily romanticised version of the self, which at one point becomes so heavily romanticised she dreams of herself as Hera Lindsay Bird. "i have gone too far this time", writes Guthrie, paying ironic tribute to the troubled male muse, by this point, the reader knows Guthrie is the brighter star.
