FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLERThe debut poetry collection from Lyndsay Rush (aka @maryoliversdrunkcousin) is a humorous and joyful celebration of big feelings, tender truths, and hard-won wisdom, for fans of Maggie Smith, Kate Baer, and Kate Kennedy. At long last, a book of poetry for people who didnt even know they liked poetry. And theyre in good company: author Lyndsay Rush didnt know she liked it either. That is, until she embarked on an internet experiment under the Instagram username @MaryOliversDrunkCousin that turned into a body of work that struck a chord with women across the country; thanks to her signature wordplay, witticisms, and--against all odds--wisdom. With titles like "Shedonism", "Someone to Eat Chips With", "Its Called Maximalism, Babe", and "Breaking News: Local Woman Gets Out of Bed", Rushs debut collection of poetry uses humor to grapple with the female experience--from questioning whether or not to have children, to roasting the patriarchy, to challenging what it means to "age gracefully"--and each piece delivers gut-punching truths alongside gratifying punchlines. Readers walk away from Lyndsays work feeling seen, celebrated, and wholly convinced that joy is an urgent, worthwhile pursuit. With over 140 convention-bending poems--most of which are never-before-seen--this book is quite literally A Bit Much. Author Biography Lyndsay Rush is a comedy writer, cofounder of the branding agency Obedient, and the poet behind the popular Instagram account @maryoliversdrunkcousin.

Review "This poetry collection about self-discovery offers readers a sense of camaraderie in its down-to-earth humor and keen emotional insights. This lyrical blend will resonate deeply with readers. Its a collection thats both memorable and refreshingly real." --Library Journal "The début A Bit Much by Nashvilles Lyndsay Rush is effervescent yet pithy, sometimes poignant, often vulnerable, and sprinkled with sass." --Southern Review of Books "Irreverent...full of clever wordplay, deep feelings, and poignant observations about motherhood and the female experience." --SELF "Deeply relatable, and bursting with joy, whimsy, abandon, and true, unencumbered delight. Mary Oliver said you do not have to be good; I feel like her drunk cousin has added: but you ARE already fabulous, right in this moment, just as you are." --Melanie Zanetti, actor and voice over artist "The wit! The wordplay! The teeny-tiny dagger embedded in the heart of every poem! Lyndsay Rushs collection is provocative, slyly observed, and legit laugh-out-loud funny. Every page is a f-ing delight. I LOVED it." --Sarah Knight, New York Times bestselling author of the No F*cks Given Guide self-help series "A Bit Much has the kind of warmth, wisdom, and wit that will leave you crying, laughing, or cry-laughing. Lyndsay Rushs poetry brilliantly blends both the playful and poignant parts of womanhood through sharp observations, creative wordplay, and killer punchlines, placing you back in the scenes of your life when you most needed to feel seen. Every woman who has been made to feel like they deserve less will cherish A Bit Much." --Kate Kennedy, New York Times bestselling author of One in a Millennial "Tender, smart, and downright funny." --Kate Baer, New York Times bestselling author of What Kind of Woman "Lyndsays poems reinvent the tired societal messages women receive as feminist rallying cries. As funny as they are subversive, these poems will make you laugh, cry and share with all your friends." --Joy Sullivan, author of Instructions for Traveling West Details ISBN1250323460 Author Lyndsay Rush Pages 304 Publisher St Martins Press Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781250323460 Format Paperback Publication Date 2024-09-17 Imprint St Martins Press Subtitle Poems Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States Audience General US Release Date 2024-09-17 ISBN-10 1250323460 Language English UK Release Date 2024-09-17 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
