{"product_id":"the-government-of-nature-afaa-michael-weaver-9780822962311","title":"The Government of Nature","description":"This is the second volume of a trilogy (the first was The Plum Flower Dance) in which Weaver analyzes his life, striving to become the ideal poet. In The Government of Nature, Afaa Michael Weaver explores the trauma of his childhood--including sexual abuse--using a \"cartography and thematic structure drawn from Chinese spiritualism.\" Weaver is a practitioner of Daoism, and this collection deals directly with the abuse in the context of Daoist renderings of nature as metaphor for the human body.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Afaa Michael Weaver\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822962314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822962311\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2013\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 8.80h x 6.00w x 0.30d","brand":"Afaa Michael Weaver","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947357896959,"sku":"9780822962311","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b84a416b-661e-49b3-9c82-90f7d7a46cbe.jpg?v=1681518249","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-government-of-nature-afaa-michael-weaver-9780822962311","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
