{"product_id":"bread-alone-9780815609452","title":"Bread Alone","description":"In this provocative collection, Kim Jensen gives voice to the struggle of those who seek love in a world saturated with brutality and aggression. Using accessible language and raw imagery, this work offers a searing portrait of the ruins of love and war. The concise lyrics in Bread Alone condemn the violence in Iraq, Palestine, and Lebanon, while exploring the intimate consequences of these and other injustices. Darkly humorous, grotesque, sorrowful, outraged, and sometimes poignantly hopeful, these poems possess a strange beauty and remind us of the key purposes of poetry--to warn and to revive our sense of conscience and connection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kim Jensen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/09\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.20w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815609452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKim Jensen\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the novel \u003ci\u003eThe Woman I Left Behind.\u003c\/i\u003e Her poems have appeared in numerous journals and anthologies, including \u003ci\u003ePoetic Voices Without Borders 2, The Baltimore Review, Al Jadid, Rain Taxi Review, Come Together: Imagine Peace, Left Curve, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. \u003c\/i\u003eShe is associate professor of English at the Community College of Baltimore County in Maryland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Syracuse University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":40183721066611,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_a94f9f85-915e-42b1-9563-a1257d927088.jpg?v=1655558944","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/bread-alone-9780815609452","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
