Larson spins a conversation between works of feminist theory--including the those of Cathy Caruth, Susan Bordo, Patricia Hill Collins, Anne Carson, H駘鈩e Cixous, and bell hooks--and her own experiences. The book moves through Larson's recovery while questioning the limits of the very term and of language as a whole. She employs a variety of different forms, including prose, Q\u0026amp;A poems, and a timeline, reflecting both the speaker's obsession with control and her growing willingness to let it go. With a measured voice, Larson finds a path for how to move beyond logic during processes of trauma and recovery. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eGut\u003c\/i\u003e won the Omnidawn 1st\/2nd Book Contest, selected by Jericho Brown. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amanda Larson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1632430975\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781632430977\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Omnidawn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/02\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.80w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2021 pg. 91","brand":"Amanda Larson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44055178051839,"sku":"9781632430977","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a59741b5-3d16-4143-b9ce-43d2ef8fa281.jpg?v=1685034235","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gut-amanda-larson-9781632430977","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
