Ceballos relentlessly delves into the experience of claiming and defining a self with vivid imagery of reflections and nature, and through dreamed or imagined dialogue with an alcoholic father he never knew: \"I am not\/my father's boy, I am not\/his body, I am not nobody..\" In another poem, his grandmother's spirit asks, \"Who? Who do you want to be?\" Ceballos connects these themes of negative and positive identity through a single thread prevalent throughout the collection, authenticity, leading us through a landscape of darkness and ash to a place of self-acceptance and love.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trio House Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49912847499568,"sku":"","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/2482\/3088\/files\/Ceballos_comps2-d_2.jpg?v=1750685341"},{"product_id":"pre-order-girl-gone-wild-by-courtney-kocak","title":"Girl Gone Wild by Courtney Kocak","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb style=\"color: rgb(0,0,0); font-family: garamond,'times new roman',serif;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eGIRL GONE WILD\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0,0,0); font-family: garamond,'times new roman',serif;\"\u003e is the memoir of an unruly metamorphosis from girl to woman. Author Courtney Kocak is an actress-turned-writer who transplanted herself from the quiet cornfields of rural Minnesota to the filthy heart of Hollywood in her painfully protracted quest to “make it” in a time before our lives were flattened by the internet—a longer, more arduous journey than she ever imagined, full of unexpected detours like falling in love with an abusive asshole and eventually having his abortion, a Model Mayhem photo shoot gone wrong, acting in independent films, a Craigslist massage for money, getting paid to kick a guy in the balls, getting hooked on Adderall, selling T-shirts on the Girls Gone Wild tour, and so much more. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb style=\"color: rgb(0,0,0); font-family: garamond,'times new roman',serif;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eGIRL GONE WILD\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0,0,0); font-family: garamond,'times new roman',serif;\"\u003e is a collection of exploits and delusions about chasing your dreams with reckless abandon and what happens when their pursuit becomes a new kind of trap. In this memoir-in-essays, Kocak takes readers along on her heady metamorphosis from girl to woman and from dreamer to professional artist, as she is transformed in this unwitting feminist coming-of-age. It’s a wild, cringeworthy, and often heartbreaking tale, but with Kocak’s wry wit and clear-eyed accounting, it’s nothing short of captivating.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trio House Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49973227946288,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/2482\/3088\/files\/GGWfront.jpg?v=1752617043"},{"product_id":"more-flowers-by-susan-l-leary","title":"More Flowers by Susan L. Leary","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eQuiet tensions drive this collection: the ox walking on ice and the voice box buried in a meadow, frayed wings grasping at the updraft. Leary offers \u003ci\u003eMore Flowers\u003c\/i\u003e, pulling us close enough to inspect paradox, awareness, and the limiting roles women must play, all the while asking, “What, of any of this, is holy?” But these poems make a map toward a new kind of survival, warning us not to feed the stray cat, as “her hunger is what keeps her alive.” In the distance, Leary promises, is the waft of a glorious perfume—we’re simply asked to be careful as we advance, to remember “what the flowers have endured, before they were flowers.” —Allison Adair, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Clearing\u003c\/i\u003eIf books were flowers, distinct and awesome in their beauty, Susan L. Leary has given us a bouquet of wonders.\u003cem\u003e More Flowers \u003c\/em\u003etoes the line between fiction and unrequited love, the Creator and the Mother: ruthless and meticulous constructions all. In this collection, girlhood is a trial by fire, a bullet aimed at the head, a girl rubbernecking the scene of herself, counting herself dead. With lyric deftness, Leary’s poems in \u003ci\u003eMore Flowers\u003c\/i\u003e bristle with beasts: the swan, the ox, a bird named Ego, and at the center of it all, the animal woman folded in on herself while God watches, impassive and inscrutable as His miracles. Leary’s speaker is twin to that of W.B. Yeats, going out in search of her own face and yearning for a world uninterrupted by the illusory safety of marriage and the societal pressures to have children, more girls churned out into the charnel house. Leary’s poems are dark;\u003cem\u003e good\u003c\/em\u003e. To examine girlhood is to live in its inherent darkness: feathers pulled from the wings of birds; mothers apologizing to their girls through broken mirrors; the heads of flowers hanging low over their snapped necks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e–Kathryn Bratt-Pfotenhauer, author of \u003ci\u003eBAD ANIMAL\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eMore Flowers\u003c\/em\u003e is a celebration of girlhood and womanhood, richly complex, built from equal parts delicateness and fierce survival. Like “a girl stepping in \u0026amp; out of her wound costume,” Susan L. Leary’s poems affirm the many ways we bear and let go of grief. This collection is masterfully synergistic, struck through with precise, echoing images—animals, flowers, bones, blades—that both intensify and surprise. A wolf mother feeds on flowers, “the froth of tulips dusting her snout;” a human mother wraps the stems of lilacs “as if the limbs of angels.” Read this book for its beauty, its brutality, and its hard-won, revelatory blooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e—Cynthia Marie Hoffman, author of \u003ci\u003eExploding Head\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trio House Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50006991896880,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/2482\/3088\/files\/MoreFlowersCover.png?v=1753731248"}],"url":"https:\/\/triohousepress.myshopify.com\/collections\/february-2026.oembed","provider":"Trio House Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
