{"product_id":"9781936919383","title":"Inadequate Grave","description":"\u003cbr\u003ePoetry. Brandon Courtney's INADEQUATE GRAVE spins together like slits on a zoetrope, animating a single, tragic moment: the drowning of a best friend in the Arabian gulf during the Iraq War. Mulling over that moment the way only a mind under grief's sway can, INADEQUATE GRAVE is elegy-in-action. And in the tradition of great nautical writing, Courtney, regardless of how angry or devastated, never evades the sea's truly sublime power: \"nothing \/ has changed: the water that drowns is still more \/ beautiful than the lungs it \/ enters.\" INADEQUATE GRAVE is both a farewell letter to the dead and a love letter to what killed him. \u003cp\u003eINADEQUATE GRAVE is the inaugural title in the new Companion series of chapbooks from YesYes Books. At the heart of the pocket-sized volumes in the Companion Series is the acknowledgement that books are sometimes all that connects us to and keeps us in this world. With the purchase of each pocket-sized book, the same book will be donated to a veterans organization or an organization that serves at-risk youth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Francis Yamoah","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039719014640,"sku":"9781936919383","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781936919383_p0.jpg?v=1763659423","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781936919383","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
