Gomer, a harlot, was the wife of the Old Testament prophet Hosea. But even after her marriage to Hosea, she refused to conform to her expected role. In Gomer, poet Kwame Dawes finds the subject for a beautiful contemporary exploration on the cost of arriving at freedom with an uneasy grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDawes examines the insidious nature of power, the expectations of gender roles, and the limits of protest. Through Gomer's journey, we are asked to consider how each one of us must articulate not only our own defiance, but tally the costs of earning our individuality. \u003cem\u003eGomer's Song\u003c\/em\u003e is a great fable for finding our humanity in the confusion of a post-9\/11 world. This is tender a book with profound lyrical insights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kwame Dawes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Akashic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Black Goat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.88h x 6.19w x 0.27d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781933354446","brand":"Akashic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42896211116169,"sku":"9781933354446","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_a85e18e2-c671-494b-86f6-c77d36363934.jpg?v=1723527389","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/gomers-song-9781933354446","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
