{"product_id":"still-life-with-mother-and-knife-poems-9780807169742","title":"Still Life with Mother and Knife: Poems","description":"In this powerful collection, Chelsea Rathburn seeks to voice matters once deemed unspeakable, from collisions between children and predators to the realities of postpartum depression. \u003ci\u003eStill Life with Mother and Knife\u003c\/i\u003e considers the female body, \"mute and posable,\" as object of both art and violence. Once an artist's model, now a mother, Rathburn knows \"how hard \/ it is to be held in the eyes of another.\" Intimate and fearless, her poems move in interlocking sections between the pleasures and dangers of childhood, between masterpieces of art and magazine centerfolds, and--in a gripping sequence in dialogue with Delacroix's paintings and sketches of Medea--between the twinned ferocities of maternal love and rage. With singular vision and potent poetic form, Rathburn crafts a complex portrait of girlhood and motherhood from which it is impossible to look away.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-12102373\"\u003eChelsea Rathburn\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LSU Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.21d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807169742\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807169749\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POE\"\u003ePoetry\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POE024000\"\u003eWomen Authors\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POE\"\u003ePoetry\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POE005010\"\u003eAmerican | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChelsea Rathburn\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of two previous poetry collections, \u003ci\u003eThe Shifting Line, \u003c\/i\u003e winner of the 2005 Richard Wilbur Award, and \u003ci\u003eA Raft of Grief.\u003c\/i\u003e A native of Miami, Florida, she now lives in the mountains of Georgia with her husband, the poet James Davis May, and their daughter\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LSU Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42711154000109,"sku":"9780807169742","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_0f4e0993-7791-47fc-84e0-083645637797.jpg?v=1650156065","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/still-life-with-mother-and-knife-poems-9780807169742","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
