{"product_id":"9781987915785","title":"Playing into Silence","description":"\u003cp\u003eGrowing up during the 50s and 60s in small town Alberta, Pam was keenly aware, by the age of nine, that she was a lesbian. And she also knew well to hide this about herself. Pam would search for books on the \"The Island of Lesbos\", only to return from the library with a copy of \u003cem\u003eLittle Women\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn between the vast spaces of dust and dugouts, she grows up and grows old, playing her saxophone in deep, blaring notes. Age is a constant marker throughout these poems for an otherwise long and lonely time of waiting for queer rights, for acceptance, for love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoet Tina Biello unearths just about everything from beneath the Alberta ground—dinosaur bones, a family’s firstborn, missing cows. A voice from within the Prairies, \u003cem\u003ePlaying into Silence\u003c\/em\u003e is a look back at a dry time in lesbian identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Caitlin Press Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47040350781680,"sku":"9781987915785","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781987915785_p0.jpg?v=1763672891","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781987915785","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
