{"product_id":"white-bull-9781946448828","title":"White Bull","description":"\u003cp\u003eComposed entirely of words taken from the letters and public statements of the notorious segregationist Bull Connor, the poems in \u003ci\u003eWhite Bull\u003c\/i\u003e use language that was wielded in violence and oppression to reckon with the present moment. The city of Birmingham is a character too, with its suffocating heat and humidity, quarry pools, and mountain in the distance. Here, the truth comes out, like a child whispering in the midst of a political rally, \"Summer separates us with the same trees.\" And, \"I thought if I repeated a word enough it would change its meaning.\" Elizabeth Hughey holds up and examines the things handed down to us--from patterned wing backs and chipped tea sets to family names and gender roles--and asks if we should keep any of it or burn it all down and start again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eElizabeth Hughey is the author of \u003ci\u003eSunday Houses the Sunday House\u003c\/i\u003e (University of Iowa Press), and \u003ci\u003eGuest Host\u003c\/i\u003e (The National Poetry Review Press).
