{"product_id":"wasp-queen-claudia-cortese-9781625579607","title":"Wasp Queen","description":"Poetry. Women's Studies. Claudia Cortese has given to Lucy what Anne Carson has given to Geryon: a life as desperate and fraught as our own, which is to say, a human rendition of the poetic potential. Here, memory is a potent point of inner excavation, where the threshold of danger and love are often one beam, a beam in which Cortese navigates with harrowingly deft eyes and ears, where Lucy, like so many of us citizens of earth and flesh, 'shines like a gun.' WASP QUEEN possesses something permanent and searing at its core: the will to live, even thrive, despite the shackles of childhood, despite even oneself. I finished this book only to read it all over again, finding and losing myself, gladly, at every turn. --Ocean Vuong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Claudia Cortese\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1625579608\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781625579607\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Black Lawrence Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 6.00w x 0.30d","brand":"Claudia Cortese","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939338748159,"sku":"9781625579607","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_be30439c-8643-468d-b4b1-c17f7852d5a5.jpg?v=1681440910","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wasp-queen-claudia-cortese-9781625579607","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
