{"product_id":"this-red-metropolis-what-remains-leia-penina-wilson-9781632430854","title":"This Red Metropolis What Remains","description":"Answering a call to go feral, these poems are part invocation and part prayer, re-imagining the form of the confessional poem by exploring the nature of confession from a feminist and anti-colonial perspective. In \u003ci\u003eThis Red Metropolis What Remains\u003c\/i\u003e, Leia Penina Wilson composes a mysteriously stark and playful pop-surreal romp through a mythic apocalypse. Dropping in and out of this mystic narrative are voices of characters who are trying to survive and to reconcile their own belonging. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e These poems reckon with what happens in the aftermath of brutality, questioning what anyone can or should do after tragedy, questioning everything until they begin to break down even their own authority. The landscape in the world of \u003ci\u003eThis Red Metropolis What Remains\u003c\/i\u003e is itself deeply unsettled. Each form varies and reflects an endless transformation of embodiment and interrogation. These poems ask what can be recovered, if anything, through an uninterrupted interrogation of memory, category, and language and with an unbroken attention to the speaker's own power. Creating shifting architecture and landscape that reveals both the disintegration of cultural time and the eternity of interior time, confession and lyric wrap both speaker and listener together. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leia Penina Wilson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1632430851\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781632430854\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Omnidawn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/07\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Leia Penina Wilson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43942664569087,"sku":"9781632430854","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_427cc644-6ee6-4d88-b64e-f7971dea8a9b.jpg?v=1681493651","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/this-red-metropolis-what-remains-leia-penina-wilson-9781632430854","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
