{"product_id":"wolf-centos-simone-muench-9781936747795","title":"Wolf Centos","description":"\u003ci\u003eWolf Centos\u003c\/i\u003e is comprised of centos, a patchwork form that originated around the 4th century. The form is one which re-configures pre-existing poetic texts into new systems of imagery and ideas. The author is able to place poets in conversation with one another across centuries and across continents. Though the poems are explicitly sutured together by the motif of the wolf, they are also linked by other elements, particularly motifs of language, loss, desire, and transformation. \u003ci\u003eWolf Centos\u003c\/i\u003e is ultimately elegiac as it oscillates between transformation and stasis, wildness and domesticity, death and beauty, damage and healing, because ultimately our lives constantly shift between these polarities as well. The ultimate knowledge of the poems is that as we age and experience loss, we must retain our \"wildness\"--the wolf's wilderness--inside us. In this way, the wolf becomes a symbol of a threshold, a transformative space.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simone Muench\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1936747790\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781936747795\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarabande Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.50h x 5.20w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2014 pg. 27\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/18\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/14\/2014 pg. 30","brand":"Simone Muench","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44761428099327,"sku":"9781936747795","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a09bc9e5-4ff8-4144-b163-ba7f5ea8009b.jpg?v=1706681295","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wolf-centos-simone-muench-9781936747795","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
