{"product_id":"rump-flank-9781774390283","title":"Rump + Flank","description":"\u003cp\u003eCarol Harvey Steski's tenacious and unapologetic debut, \u003ci\u003erump + flank\u003c\/i\u003e, explores the body in nature's many incarnations: human, animal, plant, microbe, even chemical. The result is a fantastical poetic work that sheds light on what bodies--especially female ones--endure, probing the full range of experiences from pleasure and hope to deep loss and trauma.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese poems are piercingly humorous, sexy, and peppered with startling absurdities, but are grounded by an undercurrent of nostalgia (and a soupçon of feminist rage): mercury reproduces like funhouse mirrors, oysters are whole notes dropped into eternal song, cancer is a surly character taking and discarding lovers, a domestic chore turns dark as a mother channels her inner Lady Macbeth. Lush imagery melds with organic rhythms to spawn a visceral experience, a tendon-and-muscle-driven engine that readers can feel racing within their own bodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carol Harvey Steski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e NeWest Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Crow Said Poetry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.05h x 5.58w x 0.41d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781774390283","brand":"NeWest Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47465232498825,"sku":"9781774390283","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_1c64fc60-16a4-4e22-8268-a6cfeaa42f89.jpg?v=1784060579","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/rump-flank-9781774390283","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
