{"product_id":"snakes-and-babies-jules-gibbs-9780815611493","title":"Snakes and Babies: Poems","description":"The one-word titles of Jules Gibbs's \u003ci\u003eSnakes and Babies\u003c\/i\u003e are potentialities of immense expansion. These poems are incapable of being singular, inert, quiet. They are manifold, animated, agitated by energies of politics, dreams, and desires--systems of menace and pleasure. She obeys Celan's advice to \"speak, but keep yes and no unsplit,\" but in all other ways is disobedient to \"love's old patterns.\" The weather is rain. The ecology is woman. The time is violence. The angels are emus, flightless, and endangered. The voice talks back to our alienation and annihilation. In Gibbs's hands, poems are a \"voodoo that eats through paper,\" an alternate history that wounds as it cures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jules Gibbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0815611498\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815611493\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/14\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 82\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.50w x 0.25d","brand":"Jules Gibbs","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047705866495,"sku":"9780815611493","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fced8bd4-c057-4da9-99bc-b9445c757c25.jpg?v=1684991745","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/snakes-and-babies-jules-gibbs-9780815611493","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
