{"product_id":"9780822980292","title":"Nude Descending an Empire","description":"As a collection of politically engaged poetry for the 21st century,  \u003ci\u003eNude Descending and Empire\u003c\/i\u003e develops the lyrical voice of a citizen-poet speaking to the urgency of our contemporary moment, especially its ecological crisis. This is a book that brings all the supposed sensitivity of poetry into contact with the world we actually live in—with all its crises, madness, and modernity—and insists that we feel it all. A reader will recognize many of the urgent political issues of our time, yet will find them re-inhabited and transformed here by the imaginative power of poetry. Our great ecological crisis is cast as the fulfillment of a long history of violence, domination, lies, and alienation—in one word, empire—and the book suggests that a livable future requires that we wholly inhabit our body-heart-mind and discover a new paradigm.","brand":"University of Pittsburgh Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081163981040,"sku":"9780822980292","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780822980292_p0.jpg?v=1763752487","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780822980292","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
