{"product_id":"eye-of-water-amber-flora-thomas-9780822958932","title":"Eye of Water","description":"Winner of the 2004 Cave Canem Poetry Prize The poems in Eye of Water are derived from the narrator's experiences in what she calls her \"waking.\" She traces inspiration to \"the beginning of myth, to Eve in the Garden of Eden\" and states: \"We could spend our lives unraveling the mistake and discover that life was one great big 'chore, ' and inescapable. And the path is full of missteps and accidents because we cannot (or prefer not to) remember all that got us to that moment. My body seems to be a symptom of the past, so no matter who touches me, all the ghosts are waiting there. The 'chore' becomes how to survive despite the flaws of our humanness that makes us brutal at times.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amber Flora Thomas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822958937\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822958932\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 10\/15\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 6.42w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Lambda Literary Awards - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLambda Book Report\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2006 pg. 19","brand":"Amber Flora Thomas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46199058891007,"sku":"9780822958932","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_56e14728-31d7-4dc4-a0f2-afc39e937b30.jpg?v=1727924912","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/eye-of-water-amber-flora-thomas-9780822958932","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
