{"product_id":"9780692208793","title":"Siren Song","description":"In these enraptured, playful, furious poems, the world of myth enters real life. An unhappy housewife is transformed by a wandering guitarist into Mary Magdalene; suburban Arizona serves as a battleground between Isis, Osiris, and Set; Persephone begs the sleeping Hades to abandon his sterile divinity and join her in the daylight, \"hungry \/ humble \/ naked.\"\u003cp\u003eIn Siren Song, you will also meet the poet herself. For Tawni Waters, speaking as the goddess is not simply a performance, not just a homage offered to ancient tales: it is a method for making sense of the real world, for re-casting her own experiences in the light of these icons. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Underneath the lies you have believed, you are already perfect.\u003cbr\u003eThe nightmare is already ending.\u003cbr\u003eWhen the top-40-hits and laugh tracks and freeways grow silent,\u003cbr\u003evoices you are not yet equipped to hear sing endlessly of dawn.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSiren Song invites us to live the more imaginative and more self-forgiving life that, in our hearts, we already know is real.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Burlesque Press, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50016783532272,"sku":"9780692208793","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780692208793_p0.jpg?v=1784239398","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780692208793","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
