{"product_id":"what-small-sound-francesca-bell-9781636280790","title":"What Small Sound","description":"Francesca Bell's second collection of poems, \u003ci\u003eWhat Small Sound\u003c\/i\u003e, interrogates what it means to be a mother in a country where there are five times as many guns as children; female in a country where a woman is raped every two minutes; and citizen of a world teeming with iniquities and peril. In poems rich in metaphor and music and unflinching in their gaze, Bell offers us an exacting view of the audiologist's booth and the locked ward as she grapples with the gradual loss of her own hearing and the mental illness spreading its dark wings over her family. This is a book of plentiful sorrows but also of small and sturdy comforts, a book that chronicles the private, lonely life of the body as well as its tender generosities. \u003ci\u003eWhat Small Sound\u003c\/i\u003e wrestles with some of the broadest, most complicated issues of our time and also with the most fundamental issue of all: love. How it shelters and anchors us. How it breaks us and, ultimately, how it pieces us back together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Francesca Bell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 163628079X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781636280790\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Red Hen Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/09\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/12\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/22\/2023 pg. 1","brand":"Francesca Bell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44080088121599,"sku":"9781636280790","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_90e5ba51-cd2e-46fe-8afc-f96eb47005a9.jpg?v=1685484879","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-small-sound-francesca-bell-9781636280790","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
