{"product_id":"graft-fixation-9781649218896","title":"Graft Fixation","description":"\u003cp\u003eBillie R. Tadros's Graft Fixation is fascinated by what comes together after a break-it's never quite the old form, but it's not fully a new one, either. The poems work around a car crash and subsequent injury in scattered, piecemeal forms, mirroring the way trauma isn't digested all at once or in a simple, understandable manner. The speaker knows they will never be who they used to be, but they seek a new agency, a fresh way to conceive of their identity in relation to and transcending the body. These poems are frantic and jagged, but they move towards an evolution. - Ruth Baumann, author of Thornwork \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGraft Fixation takes apart the legal and medical language surrounding injury in a car crash, turns those words over and over, and reassembles this multi-layered language with a mixture of angry grief and intense playfulness. The resulting poems interrogate our understanding of bodies, especially women's bodies, through collisions of language and form: human\/auto body, sexual\/moving violation, good\/bad pain. No description of this book could prepare you. Read it, and let it take you apart. - Katie Manning, author of Tasty Other\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gold Wake Press Collective","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50651365572882,"sku":"9781649218896","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_b9c6e047-94ed-492b-931a-4faa30d491cd.jpg?v=1733299860","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/graft-fixation-9781649218896","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
