{"product_id":"9780864928863","title":"All the Gold Hurts My Mouth","description":"\u003cp\u003eKatherine Leyton's fresh and vibrant debut collection takes on the sexual politics of the twenty-first century, boldly holding up a mirror to the male gaze and interrogating the nature of images and illusions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfronting the forces of mass communication — whether television, movies, or the Internet — Leyton explores the subtle effects of the media on our perceptions and interactions, including the pain of alienation and the threat of violence simmering just below the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd yet, for all its unflinching and raw lyricism, the poetry of \u003ci\u003eAll the Gold Hurts My Mouth\u003c\/i\u003e is warm and searching, full of humour and hope. Engaging her readers with lush vocabulary and spare, tightly controlled forms, Leyton's poems become a rich quest for identity, authenticity, and nature uncorrupted. Reaching gloriously from isolation and pain to connection with love, Leyton channels the wit of past feminists to create a manifesto for our time, an affirmation of what might be possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Goose Lane Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47032945869040,"sku":"9780864928863","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780864928863_p0.jpg?v=1763824795","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780864928863","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
