{"product_id":"still-life-with-mother-and-knife","title":"Still Life with Mother and Knife","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.","brand":"Louisiana State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55807500910936,"sku":"9780807169742","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780807169742_6adebe1a-2327-4453-92d1-a23e46daf56d.jpg?v=1781721919","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/still-life-with-mother-and-knife","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
