Written by an aunt to her potential niece, the letters in Dear Z: The Zygote Epistles introduce the "Z" to the wildly vexed work of taking on--and hanging onto selfhood. Shape-shifting from love poems to prose poems, musical spells to logic equations monostiches to math symbols, these letters meditate on self and world--specifically, what personhood, identity and community membership might entail in a perilous age. With these epistles' "epi-pen," the speaker takes her zygote-niece on a virtual tour of the checkered landscape that is 21 st - century America, where Alphabet now is a firm on the Nasdaq, prisons harvest children for profit, and the architectures of authentic personhood are almost always under siege. In the spirit of serious play, Dear Z's narrative arc bends toward hope as some of the poems test out rap and Old English, while others yearn toward blues, rock, and animal-sound. The book casts a wide net of wonderings about self and other, mind and marketplace, language and consciousness: "Is language anguish gauge or laughing gas? / Correct answer: yes," suggests the speaker. Some of the poems take solace in the South Sea Islander from Moby-Dick the character Queequeg, who, traveling through time, implies through his tattooed runes that he wants us all to serve as real-time person assisters. In Dear Z, we are summoned to ask What is one i?, while at the same time we are called to see all citizens as members of "my group"--the pain of others, our severest strand of anguish.

Will never use another moisturizer
Size: 16.9 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 16.9 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I will never use another moisturizer again. I have highly sensitive, allergy-prone skin, and this is hands-down the best moisturizer I have ever found. It provides deep, long-lasting hydration that actually stays with you throughout the day. I also suffer from Keratosis Pilaris (KP), and this lotion has worked wonders for clearing up and smoothing out those stubborn bumps. It comes in a giant bottle that lasts a long time. The lotion itself is quite thick, so it feels slightly greasy for a brief moment right when you apply it, but it soaks in incredibly fast. Amazingly, despite how rich and thick the formula is, it has never clogged my pores or caused breakouts. If you have dry, sensitive, or bumpy skin, you need to try this!

Excellent, thick, and absorbent after a bit!
Size: 16.9 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Wanted the thickest, toughest, best moisturizer I could get for extremely dry, flaky, and all-around lousy skin. This is it. It's thick. Doesn't absorb immediately; you may have to work a little. Can leave a little odd (even slightly sticky) texture on your hands, but only for a very brief period. No visible signs except making your skin look better. The results are excellent. Vastly prefer it over HylatopicPlus, which is a prescription lotion. My mother tried it and bought her own! Also doesn't have lanolin like the original. FYI, apparently the USA version does *not* have Shea (which is a nut) but some international versions do. I'm in the USA and both mine were Shea-free. The listing here shows both ingredient lists in the pictures. If this is a factor for you, make sure to check. All told, will be using this as my main moisturizer.
