{"product_id":"holding-the-dark-melanie-cameron-9781896239477","title":"Holding the Dark","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Cameron's evocative opening poem, a young woman, temporarily deprived of her eyesight, pushes herself deep into inner space, letting the darkness unfold around her until the \"boundaries of skin\" dissolve and personal identity is fractured \"like a galaxy into constellations.\" The poems that follow explore what can happen when you dare to \"keep your eyes open in the dark.\" They touch on violence, mortality, and mourning. But they also open the space of darkness to reveal its potential for intimacy, its rich eroticism, and its promise of liberation in a world without visual boundaries. Combining the intensity of the lyric with the scope of the long poem, \u003ci\u003eHolding the Dark\u003c\/i\u003e invites us to rethink our conventional concepts of darkness and enter the sensuous night.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Melanie Cameron\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1896239471\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781896239477\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Muses' Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\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 5.83w x 0.32d","brand":"Melanie Cameron","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45064649212159,"sku":"9781896239477","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aa073233-c2e6-41b8-aaea-62f40a3b5b63.jpg?v=1712124742","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/holding-the-dark-melanie-cameron-9781896239477","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
