{"product_id":"9781934103449","title":"Questions for Animals","description":"\u003cbr\u003ePoetry. Women's Studies. In her second book, Hamilton writes of the unspeakable, both as it is at the heart of Buddhist question practice and as it occurs in the circumstances of incest: in this book, the unspeakable complicates the unspeakable. Does Buddhistic practice encourage the erasure of the self much as poetic practice encourages the erasure of a poet's reading and narrative self from a poem, or as an act of rape teaches its child victim self-erasure? Hamilton's exploration often takes the form of the sonnet, a word that Paul Oppenheimer has suggested has its origin in sonitus, the music of the spheres perceived as deafening; multiple meanings emerge and dissipate in the poems, giving the reader space to have a circular and visceral experience of this moving work.","brand":"Ahsahta Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47044081385712,"sku":"9781934103449","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781934103449","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
