{"product_id":"anodyne-9781947793804","title":"Anodyne","description":"The poems that make up \u003cem\u003eAnodyne\u003c\/em\u003e consider the small moments that enrapture us alongside the daily threats of cataclysm. Formally dynamic and searingly personal, \u003cem\u003eAnodyne\u003c\/em\u003e asks us to recognize the echoes of history that litter the landscape of our bodies as we navigate a complex terrain of survival and longing. With an intimate and multivocal dexterity, these poems acknowledge the simultaneous existence of joy and devastation, knowledge and ignorance, grief and love, endurance and failure--all of the contrast and serendipity that comes with the experience of being human. If the body is a world, or a metaphor for the world, for what disappears and what remains, for what we feel and what we cover up, then how do we balance fate and choice, pleasure and pain? Through a combination of formal lyrics, delicate experiments, sharp rants, musical litany, and moments of wit that uplift and unsettle, Queen's poems show us the terrible consequences and stunning miracles of how we choose to live.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Khadijah Queen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tin House Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/18\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781947793804\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eQueen, Khadijah:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eKhadijah Queen\u003c\/strong\u003e is the author of \u003cem\u003eConduit\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eBlack Peculiar\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eFearful Beloved\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eNon-Sequitur\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eI'm So Fine: A List of Famous Men \u0026amp; What I Had On.\u003c\/em\u003e A finalist for the National Poetry Series, the Balcones Poetry Prize, and the CLMP Firecracker award in Fiction, she is an assistant professor of creative writing at University of Colorado at Boulder, and serves as core faculty for the low-residency Mile-High MFA program at Regis University.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tin House Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39829095776371,"sku":"9781947793804","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_938dd2ec-15f2-4f88-b133-082a05678066.jpg?v=1644608293","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/anodyne-9781947793804","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
