Description:


Shorter Lives' histories of notable creators (and notable enablers of the creative) drift away from conventional tellings to offer alternative facts and believable untruths. No small part of the author's extensive research, however, has been the trawling of existing biographies for unrepresentative, yet documented, instances of the bizarre.

In our post-truth world of fake news and mythmaking, Scott's revised biographies make a significant contribution to both speculative fiction and the developing field of non-fiction poetry.

'Shorter Lives plunges below the received biographies of the writers it examines to disinter the emotional, psychological, erotic and other secrets that arguably underpin, explain and give force to their work.

The results are sometimes unsettling, sometimes confounding, sometimes electric, and almost always absorbing. Scott's distillations of the lives some of the writers and artists concerned — the Woolfs, Rimbaud, Picasso — contain a deep probing of Modernity itself, a looking backward to better understand our current aesthetic and the challenges it faces.' — David Brooks, author of The Fern Tattoo

Great protection with a lovely scent
Style: SPF 70, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I really like this sunscreen! It gives excellent sun protection and keeps my skin from burning, even during long hours outside. The texture is smooth and lightweight, and it leaves my skin feeling soft instead of greasy. I also love the light tropical scent — it smells like summer in a bottle! The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it can feel a little thick when reapplying, especially in humid weather. Other than that, it’s a great sunscreen that does its job well and makes my skin look healthy and radiant.

Works!
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
We’ve tried every “gentle★★★★★ Finally, something that actually works for my nephews eczema. We’ve tried every “gentle,” “hypoallergenic,” “pediatrician-recommended” cream and lotion out there, and nothing kept our little one’s cheeks, arms, and legs from flaring up and turning angry red. This moisturizer is the first one that calms everything down within a day or two and actually keeps the eczema under control if we use it morning and night. It goes on thick but absorbs nicely, no greasy film, and most importantly, it doesn’t sting or make him cry when we put it on broken skin. Within a week the rough patches softened, the redness faded, and he stopped scratching himself raw at night. We’ve been using it for almost three months now and the flare-ups are rare and mild when they do happen. Smells like almost nothing (huge plus), no fragrance to irritate him. A little goes a long way, so the tub is lasting forever. I wish we’d found this sooner; it’s been a total game-changer for bath time and bedtime peace. 100% five stars and I recommend it to every parent I know who’s struggling with baby eczema.” “hypoallergenic,” “pediatrician-recommended” cream and lotion out there, and nothing kept my nephews cheeks, arms, and legs from flaring up and turning angry red.

The gentlest, most hydrating and calming baby and sensitive skin moisturizer
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
My go-to cream, even 8 years later when my babies are no longer babies. Calming, moisturizing, and so gentle. My kids and I can often get burning from other creams labeled for sensitive skin/fragrance free but this one doesn’t cause that. Superior product!
