{"product_id":"twitch-force-michael-redhill-9781487006181","title":"Twitch Force","description":"\u003cp\u003eA muscle's \"twitch force\" is a measurement of its energy potential. It's history dependent: you can forget it, but it's engraved on you where you can't see it, and all it wants to do is repeat. Scotiabank Giller Prize winner Michael Redhill's first collection of poetry in eighteen years, \u003ci\u003eTwitch Force\u003c\/i\u003e has a gnomic, satirical, and lucid intelligence. In \"Ingredients,\" heredity's recipe is told via short-form family narrative; in \"My Arrangements,\" a stolen laptop battery leads to an encounter with the Israeli Olympic women's beach volleyball team; while in \"The Women,\" human beauty is parsed down to the level of chromosomes: \"I'm beautiful; I have my mother's feet. The women who change into men are beautiful men who were once beautiful women.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is poetry concerned with love and its loss, despair and hard-won hope, knowledge and essential mystery, aging and timelessness. Readers are cautioned: ideas that present as self-explanatory may be closer than they appear. \u003ci\u003eTwitch Force\u003c\/i\u003e is a stunningly realized return to the form from one of Canada's bravest and most original poets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Redhill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487006187\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487006181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e House of Anansi Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/09\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.50d","brand":"Michael Redhill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48436751925503,"sku":"9781487006181","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0fdc713f-ca0b-42bf-a6d9-f37817f0d9f2.jpg?v=1777157548","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/twitch-force-michael-redhill-9781487006181","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
