{"product_id":"muzzle-rivka-clifton-9781956907148","title":"Muzzle","description":"In her debut full collection of poetry, Rivka Clifton, a curator of curiosities, challenges us to consider language as a form of violence. Challenges us to understand what violence can be: memory, both lived and re-lived. Rivka draws on her personal journey with these powerful landscapes, which are part incantation, part exorcism. The poems in \u003cem\u003eMuzzle\u003c\/em\u003e contemplate the relationship between speech and violence and how translating the experience of grief and loss into language can itself be a form of violence-through one's initial experience and living memory. How can everyday speech be violent, how can small violences be a means of communication-these are the questions posed to us by \u003cem\u003eMuzzle\u003c\/em\u003e. As we traverse the poems in this collection, we are invited to consider our own lives, our own relationship with memory, grief, loss, love, and, yes, violence. \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rivka Clifton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1956907149\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781956907148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jackleg Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/17\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.21d","brand":"Rivka Clifton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46489651052799,"sku":"9781956907148","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_04e59bb6-bf3f-435a-9b28-07bdbae7b894.jpg?v=1736954173","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/muzzle-rivka-clifton-9781956907148","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
