{"product_id":"9780971367845","title":"Crazy Chicana in Catholic City","description":"\"Juliana Aragón Fatula writes histories so terrifying they feel as if they were written with a knife. She writes with craft and courage about what most folks are too ashamed to even think about, let alone talk about. Her fearlessness is inspirational. This is the kind of poetry I want to read; this the kind I want to write. She makes me feel like writing poetry!\" -Sandra Cisneros\u003cp\u003eFrom \"Crazy Chicana in Catholic City\":\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMom once took a bullet for a cookie. \u003cbr\u003eGrandma had an apron full of cherries.\u003cbr\u003eAuntie hung the wash. \u003cbr\u003eLee fed the chickens. Zeke cleaned his rifle. Mom searched the cupboards. She was only three feet tall. She stood on the sink, \u003cbr\u003etried to reach high in the sky for oatmeal cookies. Crack - like a lightening bolt had hit a cottonwood tree. Her blood was everywhere: on the cupboards, floor, cookies, hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrandma ran down the hill but she fell. \u003cbr\u003eShe rolled, she rolled, she rolled; \u003cbr\u003ejust like a tortilla. She ran in the house saw Zeke had wrapped mom's legs in torn sheets while mom ate cookies. The bullet went in the left leg, out the back, and through the right leg, \u003cbr\u003efour holes, total. That's why you should never clean a rifle in the house: bloody cookies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Corvus Publishing Group, dba Bower House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47023797797104,"sku":"9780971367845","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780971367845_p0.jpg?v=1769914214","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780971367845","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
