{"product_id":"interior-femme-stephanie-berger-9781647790387","title":"Interior Femme: Poems","description":"Stephanie Berger's debut poetry collection, \u003ci\u003eInterior Femme\u003c\/i\u003e, cracks the earth open and exposes the \"woman inside.\" In a sequence of poems that present variations on the Western feminine archetype and explore the experience of femininity today, \u003ci\u003eInterior Femme\u003c\/i\u003e visits many unique locales, from cemeteries in Brooklyn to canyons in New Mexico to churches in San Diego, Paris, and Peru. Berger approaches her subjects--mothers, goddesses, whores, daughters, muses, and movie stars--from multiple angles, and through her poems she reveals historical, personal, ontological, social, environmental, literary, and artistic viewpoints. The poems offer layered perspectives fused with multiple versions of female representation, as if to underscore the burden of responsibility, inherited shame, and awesome power that comes with the position women have occupied throughout history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e At the center of the book is Mnemosyne, goddess of memory and mother of the nine muses, who is crumbling under the terrific burden of remembering. In these poems, there is a woman critically wounded--representing the totality of the Western feminine imaginary--who is seeking answers to dire questions. Lyrically complex, sometimes surreal, and often ekphrastic in style and content, \u003ci\u003eInterior Femme\u003c\/i\u003e simultaneously offers heartbreak, laughter, comfort, and empowerment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephanie Berger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1647790387\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781647790387\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nevada Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/25\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 75\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.30d","brand":"Stephanie Berger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996615966975,"sku":"9781647790387","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_300fa6f1-1e01-4f10-bf55-04375161a74e.jpg?v=1683342709","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/interior-femme-stephanie-berger-9781647790387","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
