{"product_id":"no-spare-people","title":"No Spare People","description":"\u003ci\u003eNo Spare People\u003c\/i\u003e documents the joys and perils of a tiny mother-daughter family navigating life on the margins. From poems about finding autonomy as a queer, unpartnered parent by choice in the South to those chronicling a generation's economic instability, Hoover rejects so-called \" acceptable losses\" stemming from inequalities of gender, race, and class. The book asks, what happens to the woman no longer willing to live a lie? How does language invent not only identity, but possibility? \u003cbr\u003e \" Erin Hoover's second collection, \u003ci\u003eNo Spare People\u003c\/i\u003e, recalls to me the sobering effect of encountering Adrienne Rich's work in the late ' 80s. These poems deal in reality, eschewing the fantastic ... This is a deeply intellectual and expertly wrought collection.\" -- Cate Marvin \u003cbr\u003e \" These are hard poems in that they press far past the facile reductive binaries of good and evil, savior and saved, and into something-- a lyric, a voice-- that feels a little more complicated, a little more like our own world.\" -- Kaveh Akbar","brand":"Erin Hoover","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44857626492970,"sku":"9781625570598","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/0891\/6522\/files\/no-spare-people-4644785.jpg?v=1789614667","url":"https:\/\/thepoetryshop.com\/products\/no-spare-people","provider":"The Poetry Shop LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
