{"product_id":"fruit-1-bruce-snider-9780299326746","title":"Fruit: Volume 1","description":"Bruce Snider's third poetry collection grapples with what it means to be childless in a world obsessed with procreation. Poems move between the scientific and the biblical, effortlessly sliding from the clinical landscape of a sperm bank to Mount Moriah as Abraham prepares Isaac for sacrifice. Exploring issues of sexuality, lineage, and mortality, Snider delves into subjects as varied as the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky; same-sex couple adoption; and Gregor Mendel's death in 1884. Each poem builds into a broader examination of power and fragility, domesticity and rebellion, violence and devotion: heartrending vignettes of the aches and joys of growing up and testing the limits of nature and nurture. In language both probing and sensitive, \u003ci\u003eFruit\u003c\/i\u003e delivers its own conflicted and celebratory answers to pressing questions of life, death, love, and biology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruce Snider\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299326748\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299326746\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.30d","brand":"Bruce Snider","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978422812927,"sku":"9780299326746","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bcff9dad-54ff-4bbd-a65b-c589789e7b7b.jpg?v=1683241469","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fruit-1-bruce-snider-9780299326746","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
