Befitting someone who \"speaks things into being,\" Christmas extracts from family history, queer lineage, and the political landscape of a racialized life to create a rich, softly defiant collection of poems. \u003cbr\u003e Christmas draws a circle around the things she calls \"holy\" the family line that cannot find its root but survived to fill the skies with radiant flesh; the body, broken and unbroken and broken and new again; the lover lost, the friend lost, and the loss itself; and the hands that hold them all with brilliant, tender care. Expansive and beautiful, these poems allow readers to swim in Jillian Christmas's mother-tongue and to dream at her shores.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jillian Christmas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1551527979\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781551527970\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arsenal Pulp Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2020\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 7.70h x 5.90w x 0.40d","brand":"Jillian Christmas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995060863231,"sku":"9781551527970","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a1914613-e882-4864-9475-066568f35d11.jpg?v=1683333694","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-gospel-of-breaking-jillian-christmas-9781551527970","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
