Publisher Marketing: 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.
