Morton Prize in Poetry, selected by Terrance Hayes.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe debut collection from Simon Shieh, \u003ci\u003eMaster\u003c\/i\u003e is a stark, surreal, and imagistic reckoning with a traumatic past. \u003ci\u003eMaster\u003c\/i\u003e follows the speaker's struggle with masculinity from a martial arts school in upstate New York to a boxing academy in Beijing. Language emerges in this collection not as a neutral witness to a boy's subjugation, but as the very tool of hegemony, though one which also holds the key to its own undoing, and therefore to freedom. As much as \u003ci\u003eMaster\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of pain, it is also a journey to healing, illuminating that while violence can be our patrimony, it does not have to be our destiny.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon Shieh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1956046216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781956046212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarabande Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/12\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.80w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/20\/2023","brand":"Simon Shieh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44129013956863,"sku":"9781956046212","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_623133a0-8076-40b0-8381-8c83371a3692.jpg?v=1687461621","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/master-simon-shieh-9781956046212","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
