{"product_id":"bite-hard-justin-chin-9780916397470","title":"Bite Hard","description":"\u003cbr\u003eThe first collection by award-winning performance artist\/poet Justin Chin. In Bite Hard, Chin explores his identity as an Asian, a gay man, an artist, and a lover. He rails against both his own life experiences and society's limitations and stereotypes with scathing humor, bare-bones honesty, and unblinking detail. Whether addressing what really goes on in the kitchen of Chinese restaurants or a series of ex-boyfriends, all named Michael, Chin displays his remarkable emotional range and voice as a poet. His raw, incantatory, stream-of-consciousness poems confront issues of race, desire, and loss with a compelling urgency that reflects his work as in performance, speaking directly to an audience. Throughout this collection, Chin demonstrates his uncanny ability to convey thought-provoking viewpoints on a variety of controversial subjects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Justin Chin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0916397475\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780916397470\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manic D Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Lambda Literary Awards - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Firecracker Alternative Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Firecracker Alternative Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Lambda Literary Awards - Nominee","brand":"Justin Chin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047034646783,"sku":"9780916397470","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ddf559c0-0cb3-4f66-9464-f74d704f1512.jpg?v=1684987896","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bite-hard-justin-chin-9780916397470","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
