{"product_id":"you-dont-have-to-go-yona-harvey-9781945588563","title":"You Don't Have to Go to Mars for Love","description":"The poems of award-winning poet Yona Harvey's much anticipated You Don't Have to Go to Mars for Love follow an unnamed protagonist on her multidimensional, Afro-futuristic journey. Her story stretches the boundaries normally constraining a black, female body like hers. Half-superhero, half-secret-identity, she encounters side-slipping, speculative realities testing her in poems that appear like the panels of a comic book. Music directs readers through large and small emotional arcs, constantly retroubled by lyric experimentation. Harvey layers her poems with a chorus of women's voices. Her artful use of refrain emphasizes the protagonist's meaning making and doubling back: \"Who am I to say? The eye is often mistaken. Or is it the mind? Always eager to interpret.\" Our hero is captured, escapes, scuba dives, goes interstellar, and she emerges on the other end of her journey renewed, invoking the gods: \"taunt the sharks. \u0026amp; when the glaciers get to melting, \/ all God's River's we shall haunt.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yona Harvey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 194558856X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781945588563\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Four Way Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/08\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2020 pg. 70\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/17\/2020","brand":"Yona Harvey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049943298303,"sku":"9781945588563","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_138232ae-5145-4bca-9792-e12ad7edf109.jpg?v=1685004289","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/you-dont-have-to-go-yona-harvey-9781945588563","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
