So much synth / Brenda Shaughnessy.

Shaughnessy, Brenda, 1970- (author.).

Summary:

"Shaughnessy's fourth collection as she approaches middle age and revisits the memories, romances, and music of adolescence. So Much Synth is a brave and ferocious collection composed of equal parts femininity, pain, pleasure, and synthesizer. While Shaughnessy tenderly winces at her youthful excesses, we humbly catch glimpses of our own"-- Provided by publisher.
