{"product_id":"boy-with-thorn-rickey-laurentiis-9780822963813","title":"Boy with Thorn","description":"In a landscape at once the brutal American South as it is the brutal mind, Boy with Thorn interrogates the genesis of all poetic creation--the imagination itself, questioning what role it plays in both our fascinations with and repulsion from a national history of racial and sexual violence. The personal and political crash into one language here, gothic as it is supple, meditating on visual art and myth, to desire, the practice of lynching and Hurricane Katrina. Always at its center, though, is the poet himself--confessing a double song of pleasure and inevitable pain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rickey Laurentiis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822963817\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822963813\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 6.04w x 0.06d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/21\/2015","brand":"Rickey Laurentiis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988297548031,"sku":"9780822963813","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_594fd0d8-7a91-4e75-b910-7f445e69df3d.jpg?v=1683293742","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/boy-with-thorn-rickey-laurentiis-9780822963813","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
