It's a Big Deal!
It's a Big Deal! | Dina Del Bucchia
6 posts | 1 read | 5 to read
Buying clothes, food trends for healthfulness and coolness, what's trending online, one's personal problems, what someone else has said, the political landscape, an Instagram post, avocado toast ... all things to be reckoned with and that seem like a BIG DEAL in today's world. The poems in Dina Del Bucchia's collection reflect on the ever-changing "big deals" we encounter in the world - with a unique, wry, sensitive, bitchy, and honest voice, holding humour and heart.

A collection of incredibly fun and witty poems that surprised me with their power. Quintessential social commentary plus megafauna. What could be better?

Don‘t pull yourself
together just because
someone told you to calm down.

[…] Hurry up and get
to curing all the cancers already, and also

prioritize a household machine
that makes peanut butter cups. But first
cancer, eviscerated. Every kind. Obviously.

Ugh. Bathing is complicated. Can it come in a pill?
Can everything just come in pill form now?
I‘m not even going to say please.

Severnmeadows Powerful poems! 5y
Lindy @Severnmeadows Yes, I find them deceptively powerful. Deceptive because they seem off-the-cuff at first glance. 5y

Boys looking up to adult incels, lying about their age to ingest knowledge about how to be better misogynists, punish girls for having choice. Involuntary celibacy is another way of saying, hey I have a boner and I am angry and lazy and I deeply hope to never understand why.

Cut up your credit card to prevent further debt. These shards can also be used to spear pickles or cheese cubes at a very casual get-together.
