{"product_id":"best-prey","title":"Best Prey","description":"Paige Qui??ones's incisive debut poetry collection investigates the trauma of desire. Qui??ones's lyric world is populated with stark dualities: procreation and childlessness, predator and prey, mania and depression. A hunter pursues an ill-fated fox through the woods; heaven is paved with girls who would rather drown than be born; a couple returns from their honeymoon to find a stagnant pond in their marriage bed. Through navigating these duplicities, Qui??ones arrives at a version of femininity that is at once fierce and crystalline, and unmistakably her own. She writes, \"\"My reflection can only growl back, in water or oil-slick or silver. This is an exercise in forgiveness. I dip my feet in.\"\" \u003ci\u003eThe Best Prey\u003c\/i\u003e charts the complexity of hunger in vivid, visceral terms, and ultimately arrives at a sense of self that encompasses the contradictions of sensuality, violence, and power.","brand":"Louisiana State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55807590957400,"sku":"9780807175484","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780807175484_11adf884-3ae9-40be-a0fa-a2cf308d1608.jpg?v=1778679917","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/best-prey","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
