{"product_id":"nude-descending-an-empire-sam-taylor-9780822963042","title":"Nude Descending an Empire","description":"As a collection of politically engaged poetry for the 21st century, \u003ci\u003eNude Descending and Empire\u003c\/i\u003e develops the lyrical voice of a citizen-poet speaking to the urgency of our contemporary moment, especially its ecological crisis. This is a book that brings all the supposed sensitivity of poetry into contact with the world we actually live in--with all its crises, madness, and modernity--and insists that we feel it all. A reader will recognize many of the urgent political issues of our time, yet will find them re-inhabited and transformed here by the imaginative power of poetry. Our great ecological crisis is cast as the fulfillment of a long history of violence, domination, lies, and alienation--in one word, empire--and the book suggests that a livable future requires that we wholly inhabit our body-heart-mind and discover a new paradigm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sam Taylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822963043\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822963042\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/09\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.30d","brand":"Sam Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926548054271,"sku":"9780822963042","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d4196b91-e470-4e9f-9279-304ad728f28a.jpg?v=1681083682","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nude-descending-an-empire-sam-taylor-9780822963042","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
