Either way, the primal materials of which this book is comprised -- love, sex, adolescence, space-time, depression, post-colonialism, and sugar -- are movingly and mysteriously transmuted: not into gold, but into a poet's philosopher's stone, in which language marries life. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStructurally virtuosic, elaborate without being ornate, Loose Sugar is spun into series within series: each of the five sections has a dual heading (such as \"space \/ time\" or \"time \/ work\") in which the terms are neither in collision nor collusion, but in conversation. It's elemental sweet talk, and is Brenda Hillman's most experimental work to date, culminating in a meditation on the possibility of a native -- and feminine -- language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brenda Hillman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0819522430\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780819522436\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wesleyan University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/21\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.93h x 5.95w x 0.39d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e National Book Critics Circle Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/31\/1997 pg. 71\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/1997 pg. 61","brand":"Brenda Hillman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46640571121919,"sku":"9780819522436","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_78a30294-bed9-4828-9b6b-7ce77cb84b09.jpg?v=1740669983","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/loose-sugar-brenda-hillman-9780819522436","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
