{"product_id":"shrapnel-maps-philip-metres-9781556595639","title":"Shrapnel Maps","description":"Writing into the wounds and reverberations of the Israel\/Palestine conflict, Philip Metres' fourth book of poems, \u003cem\u003eShrapnel Maps, \u003c\/em\u003e is at once elegiac and activist, an exploratory surgery to extract the slivers of cartography through palimpsest and erasure. A wedding in Toura, a suicide bombing in Jerusalem, uneasy interactions between Arab and Jewish neighbors in University Heights, the expulsion of Palestinians in Jaffa, another bombing in Gaza: \u003cem\u003eShrapnel Maps\u003c\/em\u003e traces the hurt and tender places, where political noise turns into the voices of Palestinians and Israelis. Working with documentary flyers, vintage postcards, travelogues, cartographic language, and first person testimonies, \u003cem\u003eShrapnel Maps\u003c\/em\u003e ranges from monologue sonnets to prose vignettes, polyphonics to blackouts, indices to simultaneities, as Palestinians and Israelis long for justice and peace, for understanding and survival.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Metres\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1556595638\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781556595639\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Copper Canyon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/24\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 7.40w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2020 pg. 94","brand":"Philip Metres","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046015430911,"sku":"9781556595639","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_70497346-be39-41f6-8f42-47f9e9901fb8.jpg?v=1684982122","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shrapnel-maps-philip-metres-9781556595639","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
