{"product_id":"the-pantyhose-declarations-nan-lundeen-9781449900854","title":"The Pantyhose Declarations","description":"Nan Lundeen's powerful collection of thirty-eight poems introduces the reader to women who refuse to wear pantyhose, who rebuff the duty train, and who discover the magic of a redemptive red bra. Her poetry celebrates the Goddess in her many guises, the Earth swathed in its solstitial shrouds, and the power of a women's circle. It reclaims the Persephone-Demeter myth as two independent women and celebrates the \"unafraid dark soul\" on the longest night of the year. The ancient Eastern goddess, Quan Yin, speaks \"soft as a bell offshore\/soft as a white petal\/dusting cheek of Muse.\" The Earth awakens in April and, \"the trees -- the narrow trees\/seemingly dead\/everywhere singing with frothy green.\" Lundeen's poetry honors the robust women of her Iowa heritage -- her late grandmother who becomes an angel, stirring soap in the farmhouse basement as an Easter ice storm rages; her mother, Marian, who refuses to relinquish her singing voice to dementia; and Aunt Geneva, who struggles like a sumo wrestler with her corset on her wedding day. She finds spirituality in simple scenes, \"The praying tree\/one gray arm curved upward\/as if she were a war veteran\/who refuses to relinquish faith,\" and she finds grace in her little dog who sits beside her while she brushes her teeth: \"Nobody else I know will do that.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nan Lundeen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1449900852\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781449900854\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/12\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 82\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.24w x 0.17d","brand":"Nan Lundeen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48458371432703,"sku":"9781449900854","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_678a946d-fc24-433a-aec6-8673debc9da4.jpg?v=1777404031","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-pantyhose-declarations-nan-lundeen-9781449900854","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
