Parsons' writing hits right to the core, conjuring smells of grandma's kitchen and summoning the feeling of scratchy shag carpet on a hot summer's day. Jocelyn Mackenzie, Recording Artist, Righteous Babe Records
Growing up in a time when sensory dysregulation wasn't in our vocabulary felt like a daily obstacle course-the victory being not throwing up in the backseat of a hot Buick station wagon, or the pure freedom to dance one's heart out in the wood paneled family room of 1985 while The Cars told you to Shake it Up.
A romp through popular culture of the 1980s, Chomp Press Pull untangles the irritation, bliss, and reality of feeling many things-on your skin and in your nostrils. Think of it like a sticker album: scratch-and-sniff memories, glittering moments of euphoria, and real-life baubles you can almost hold.
Do you crave cool air, a tension-free neck, hairless arms, and the quiet hum of home? If so, this collection of peppermint and dirt-flavored essays might just feel like a release.
