These poems inhabit the charged territory where medicine and punishment converge, revealing how the body becomes both patient and instrument under state control. Moving through histories of wartime confinement, interrogation, and isolation, Nevison writes a poetry of witness to the carceral state, illuminating what is so often kept from view. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith precision and moral force, Nevison examines the shadows cast by medical experimentation on imprisoned bodies, the blurred boundary between hospital anesthesia and the drugs used in lethal injection protocols, and the rituals of surveillance that shape life behind bars. This is a work rooted in the medical humanities of confinement, an inquiry into how suffering is recorded, observed, and, at times, rendered invisible. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eLethal Theater \u003c\/i\u003emakes visible the brutal logics beneath state-sanctioned pain and insists on the urgency--and responsibility--of looking closely at what the nation asks its incarcerated to endure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susannah Nevison\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mad Creek Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/18\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Osu Journal Award Poetry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.30w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814255162","brand":"Mad Creek Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47465077932169,"sku":"9780814255162","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_f336d51f-ada7-4282-a072-f8461de33ad2.jpg?v=1784060503","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/lethal-theater-9780814255162","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
