{"product_id":"9780819522436","title":"Loose Sugar","description":"\u003cp\u003eLoose Sugar is an alchemical manuscript disguised as a collection of poems, or vice versa. Either way, the primal materials of which this book is comprised — love, sex, adolescence, space-time, depression, post-colonialism, and sugar — are movingly and mysteriously transmuted: not into gold, but into a poet's philosopher's stone, in which language marries life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStructurally virtuosic, elaborate without being ornate, Loose Sugar is spun into series within series: each of the five sections has a dual heading (such as \"space \/ time\" or \"time \/ work\") in which the terms are neither in collision nor collusion, but in conversation. It's elemental sweet talk, and is Brenda Hillman's most experimental work to date, culminating in a meditation on the possibility of a native — and feminine — language.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wesleyan University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47031427858672,"sku":"9780819522436","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780819522436_p0.jpg?v=1763750026","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780819522436","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
