{"product_id":"behemoth-bruce-bond-9781641771443","title":"Behemoth","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the poetry collection \u003ci\u003eBehemoth\u003c\/i\u003e, Bruce Bond explores the metaphysical imagination, both in its secular and sacred forms, as something universal, endemic to consciousness, embedded in our longing to capture a lost past and stave off anxieties about the great forgetting to come. As such the book figures as both a critique and empathetic analysis of idolatry, broadly understood and equally universal, problematic as a failed strategy intent upon possession, at odds with values embedded in its symbols. Figures critical to our identity--including those associated with race, nation, and religion--become most prone to unmindful projection, fears and vulnerabilities and our subsequent potential for cruelty and exclusion. Central to the book's inquiry is the legacy of the holocaust as something that persists, recognized or not--a critical element of cultural memory that both eludes our language and summons our need to speak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruce Bond\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1641771445\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781641771443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Encounter Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/05\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.60w x 0.80d","brand":"Bruce Bond","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43941838389503,"sku":"9781641771443","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b6d0a398-94dc-48b7-82e0-a88bce8e3829.jpg?v=1681455257","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/behemoth-bruce-bond-9781641771443","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
