{"product_id":"white-blood-kiki-petrosino-9781946448545","title":"White Blood: A Lyric of Virginia","description":"In her fourth full-length book, \u003ci\u003eWhite Blood: A Lyric of Virginia\u003c\/i\u003e, Kiki Petrosino turns her gaze to Virginia, where she digs into her genealogical and intellectual roots, while contemplating the knotty legacies of slavery and discrimination in the Upper South. From a stunning double crown sonnet, to erasure poetry contained within DNA testing results, the poems in this collection are as wide-ranging in form as they are bountiful in wordplay and truth. In her poem 'The Shop at Monticello, ' she writes: 'I'm a black body in this Commonwealth, which turned black bodies\/ into money. Now, I have money to spend on little trinkets to remind me\/ of this fact. I'm a money machine \u0026amp; my body constitutes the common wealth.' Speaking to history, loss, and injustice with wisdom, innovation, and a scientific determination to find the poetic truth, \u003ci\u003eWhite Blood\u003c\/i\u003e plants Petrosino's name ever more firmly in the contemporary canon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kiki Petrosino\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1946448540\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781946448545\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarabande Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2020\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 5.30w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/26\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/18\/2020 pg. 37","brand":"Kiki Petrosino","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049226399999,"sku":"9781946448545","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_09cc2f02-7aa3-45c5-accd-8b61bc43b523.jpg?v=1685000372","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/white-blood-kiki-petrosino-9781946448545","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
