{"product_id":"the-year-we-studied-women-bruce-snider-9780299193843","title":"The Year We Studied Women","description":"In this intimate first collection Bruce Snider explores the intricacies of memory, loss, and identity in poems about everything from algebra to sperm to lipstick. A farmer finds the body of a dead child, a boy watches his mother get ready for a date, a woman with cancer shops for a wig, an overweight sister shares a cupcake with her little brother. In the book's longest and most complex poem a tarot card reading excavates the relationship between a son and his distant, often violent father. Sometimes funny, always big-hearted and inventive, Snider catalogues the minutiae of daily life with language that is plainspoken yet strongly imagistic, weaving together both public and private moments as he maps one man's longing for transformation. It's an attempt to reconcile it all--past and present, fear and desire, self and sexuality--making the barest symbols of maleness and femaleness into their own deeply personal language.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruce Snider\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299193845\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299193843\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 97\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.18h x 7.00w x 0.38d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKliatt\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2004 pg. 30\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLambda Book Report\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2004 pg. 17","brand":"Bruce Snider","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119535321343,"sku":"9780299193843","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4a73a690-1f2f-4692-a28f-a2e55cc941d1.jpg?v=1687409829","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-year-we-studied-women-bruce-snider-9780299193843","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
