Words hit the page like light on a mirrorball as Tse takes us from come-up to comedown, between the spotlight and the shadowy corners, penning both sadbangers and straight-up bangers that are generous, alive and shot through with the magnetic urgency of a club classic.But when the lights come up after the last dance, how do we brace ourselves to face the world outside? Dance-Floor Romance is poetry that seeks answers from the art we turn to in times of uncertainty, that ‘Holds the present as much as it \/ holds a whisper of the future’, and amplifies it. Someone hand Tse the AUX cord.","brand":"Auckland University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58470608372047,"sku":"9781776712588","price":28.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/0372\/8217\/files\/9781776712588_1-dance-floor-romance.jpg?v=1786652227","url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/dance-floor-romance","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
