Clem, a lone cowboy, caught in the inevitable violence of the Western, compulsively rides through ghost towns and Monument Valley. Violet is an artist who pulls dead bodies, guns, and memory into her studio, immersing herself in a creative process, seeking to understand the relationships among aggression, vulnerability and the imagination. Disrupting the story are the ghostly visitations of a dead child who travels the western landscape unsettling romanticized, filmic images of Monument Valley.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterspersed in the text are fragile, beautiful images painstakingly cut from paper, created by artist Paul Robles. This experimental long poem, a gritty feminist meditation on trauma, violence and the possibilities of art, is as powerful as a Smith and Wesson Schofield rifle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roewan Crowe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1894037901\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781894037907\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arp Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Roewan Crowe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46617942196479,"sku":"9781894037907","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f08b6762-a079-4544-8f61-1820899577ec.jpg?v=1740068751","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/quivering-land-roewan-crowe-9781894037907","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
