{"product_id":"owed-9780143133858","title":"Owed","description":"\"Gregory Pardlo described Joshua Bennett's first collection of poetry, The Sobbing School, as an \"arresting debut\" that was \"abounding in tenderness and rich with character,\" with a \"virtuosic kind of code switching.\" Bennett's new collection, Owed, is a book with celebration at its center. Its primary concern is how we might mend the relationship between ourselves and the people, spaces, and objects we have been taught to think of as insignificant, as fundamentally unworthy of study, reflection, attention, or care. Spanning the spectrum of genre and form--from elegy and ode to origin myth--these poems elaborate an aesthetics of repair. What's more, they ask that we turn to the songs and sites of the historically denigrated so that we might uncover a new way of being in the world together, one wherein we can truthfully reckon with the brutality of the past, and thus imagine the possibilities of our shared, unpredictable present, anew\"--\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joshua Bennett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Poets\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.80w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143133858","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42827063853193,"sku":"9780143133858","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_151730c8-45e0-48ed-9cb5-2aa6d215bdd1.jpg?v=1721711743","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/owed-9780143133858","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
