Description
Landscape with Headless Mama: Poems"Pardon me, but I'm shivering a bit at my core. These are restless, storm hued stanzas, revelations of our dark cravings and hapless, woefully imperfect attempts at perfect love. Here are the dreams even our dreams won't reveal, flaunting wild edges and endings that nudge the soul, each fusing of lyric and lesson as potent as a backhand slap. And Mama watches everything. Mama sees it all." Patricia Smith "What's living without fear of getting lost?"

Mama sees it all." - Patricia Smith
"What's living without fear of getting lost?" That's only one of many empowering moments in Jennifer Givhan's auspicious debut. Her "blood magic" ink delivers the hard truths that kick-start the healing of the "splintered cactus" that hurdles the path of a woman's journey. Landscape with Headless Mama blossoms with the "strange alloys of sadness" that devastate motherhood and femininity, and then nurture their wounds back to vibrant life." - Rigoberto Gonz lez "In Jennifer Givhan's Landscape with Headless Mama, the vivid truth of these poems evokes both the wince of pain and the head-rush of joy, the familial and the romantic disconnections we endure and those connections found in the same terrain that we, still, manage to cherish. If there's a line in these poems that doesn't surprise, I couldn't find it; one never knows where the poem will take us. I found myself tracing "maps of the borderland into my body/ cliff dwelling, the taste of red brick on the tongue...." Each figure rendered, each voice conjured comes to life with their distinct journey, and Givhan continues to remind us of yet another truth: "There are other ways for the story to end." Indeed, the possibilities seem limitless in this world she builds. If a collection of poems can be called a page-turner, this is what it feels like." - A. Van Jordan"These are true border poems, restlessly crossing between the real and the surreal, the loved and the used up, the fertile and the infertile, and the hungry and the sated. Jennifer Givhan is a dangerous poet in all the necessary ways."-Connie Voisine Landscape with Headless Mama explores the experiences of becoming and being a mother through the lens of dark fairy tales. Describing the book as "a surreal survival guide," Givhan draws from the southwestern desert, incorporating Latin American fine art and folkloric influences. Drawing inspiration from Gloria Anzald a, Frida Kahlo, Leonora Carrington, tattoo artists, and comic book heroes, among other sources, this is a book of intelligence, humor, deep feeling, and, above all, duende.

super strong hold!
Style: MagSafe Phone Holder
super easy to set up, holds really tight, and does little to no movement when hitting bumps. magnet is strong enough to keep the phone in place while driving, but weak enough to not feel like you're ripping the mount off the dash. i will say as a warning, find your spot, double check all the things around that might move so you won't impede it (my shifter got close) and dry fit it to make sure any position you will want it in won't be an issue there. i have a similar one in my truck and made the mistake of putting the mount in a spot that doesn't let the phone go where i want it when turned sideways. as carpenters say "measure twice, cut once..."

Perfect for on the go use.
The Lisen Wireless charger is perfect for on the go pop in and pop out when needed. It’s very functional and only needs one hand use to lock or unlock. It fits perfectly on the air vent. It’s look sleek and well made. The charging speed may be slow unfortunately.

Good, except for release button placement
This works well. It’s easy to install, charges your phone well, and mounts to the vent securely. Simply set your phone on it and squeeze the arms to grip it. I like that it’s manual, so you can open and close it even without power.
However, the release button is centered on the back, which means that to press/squeeze it, you have to put your thumb right on the middle of your phone screen. It can interfere with whatever I’m using my phone for at the time or just wake it up unnecessarily. Not a huge deal, but it would be great if they moved the button to the side so you can squeeze side to side to release the grip, rather than front to back.
