{"product_id":"the-best-prey-paige-quiones-9780807175484","title":"The Best Prey","description":"Paige Qui ones's incisive debut poetry collection investigates the trauma of desire. Qui ones's lyric world is populated with stark dualities: procreation and childlessness, predator and prey, mania and depression. A hunter pursues an ill-fated fox through the woods; heaven is paved with girls who would rather drown than be born; a couple returns from their honeymoon to find a stagnant pond in their marriage bed. Through navigating these duplicities, Qui ones arrives at a version of femininity that is at once fierce and crystalline, and unmistakably her own. She writes, \"My reflection can only growl back, in water or oil-slick or silver. This is an exercise in forgiveness. I dip my feet in.\" \u003ci\u003eThe Best Prey\u003c\/i\u003e charts the complexity of hunger in vivid, visceral terms, and ultimately arrives at a sense of self that encompasses the contradictions of sensuality, violence, and power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paige Quines\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080717548X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807175484\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pleiades Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 7.80w x 0.20d","brand":"Paige Quines","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994567573759,"sku":"9780807175484","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_960cd2b6-c98a-4642-9e33-cedca827c8a2.jpg?v=1683330923","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-best-prey-paige-quiones-9780807175484","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
