{"product_id":"wonder-wheel-chelsea-whitton-9780807185872","title":"Wonder Wheel: Poems","description":"Chelsea Whitton's debut poetry collection, \u003ci\u003eWonder Wheel, \u003c\/i\u003edexterously whirls in sonic circles, ruminating on themes of spiritual bestowal and terrestrial bequest, millennial identity, adult friendship, feminine desire, and the mythmaking at stake in family history. Disoriented speakers who nevertheless believe they know where they are going, and what they are doing, provide an occasion for lyric expansiveness and periodic bathos, including elegies for June Carter Cash, Patsy Cline, the author's father, an ex-cat, and others. At the heart of the collection is a rhyming sonnet crown that offers a wicked inversion of the book's larger vision by constructing an apocalyptic mythology of matrilineal inheritance reliant on resistance, destruction, and martyrdom as much as on cycles of creation and healing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chelsea Whitton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807185876\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807185872\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LSU Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/16\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Chelsea Whitton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47931154465023,"sku":"9780807185872","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fb542a5c-81c5-42bb-8b37-395630bbc9c2.jpg?v=1766346822","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wonder-wheel-chelsea-whitton-9780807185872","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
