While uncovering different forms of oppression that estrange Native Americans from their own land, these poems explore the raw and disturbing aspects of living in the wastelands of contemporary America. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAurum \u003c\/i\u003edoes not attempt to provide answers or solutions. Instead, it splits the belly of North America and lays it bare into powerful words and unconventional structures. Brutally honest and incredibly fine tuned, this collection digs up \"the grit where teeth once rooted\" to show the objectification of Native peoples and cultures for the grotesque erasure it really is. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With images that taunt, disturb, and fascinate, \u003ci\u003eAurum\u003c\/i\u003e captures the vibrantly original language in Santee Frazier's first collection, Dark Thirty, while taking on a completely new voice and rhythm. Each poem is vivid and memorable, beckoning to be read again and again as the words lend an enhanced experience each time. Frazier has crafted a wrought-iron collection of poetry that never shies away from a truth that America often attempts to ignore.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Santee Frazier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816539626\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816539628\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Arizona Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/17\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.80h x 6.90w x 0.20d","brand":"Santee Frazier","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992497783039,"sku":"9780816539628","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1c457855-d1a5-441a-8616-6f83d2bd48cf.jpg?v=1683319264","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/aurum-santee-frazier-9780816539628","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
