{"product_id":"sugar-fix-kory-wells-9781947896215","title":"Sugar Fix","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe subjects of poetry are the same: love and loss, sex and death and grief, family in all its permutations and complications. The differences are in the telling, and Kory Wells is a powerful teller. Her poems are as layered and dense as her grandmother's Red Velvet cake. \u003cem\u003eWhat is it, she asks, that makes us want to swallow \/\/ a story whole? To think \/\/ only one version can be true?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eWith a clear eye, she confronts the paradoxes that gender, race, and heritage present. She writes from a rootedness in her homeland that reaches down generations. She writes as a citizen of this troubled world: \u003cem\u003eI'm unlearning the urge for a sugar fix like I'm unlearning \/\/ my threshold for what is acceptable, terrible, commonplace. \/\/ Tell me I don't have to unlearn hope.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eShe does what we ask of the poet. All that we ask. --Marie Harris, former New Hampshire Poet Laureate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kory Wells\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1947896210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781947896215\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Terrapin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Kory Wells","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44052625948927,"sku":"9781947896215","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_398cda68-7b1b-4d45-a0db-a69081c1c349.jpg?v=1685019890","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sugar-fix-kory-wells-9781947896215","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
