{"product_id":"bite-hard-9780916397470","title":"Bite Hard","description":"\u003cbr\u003eThe first collection by award-winning performance artist\/poet Justin Chin. In Bite Hard, Chin explores his identity as an Asian, a gay man, an artist, and a lover. He rails against both his own life experiences and society's limitations and stereotypes with scathing humor, bare-bones honesty, and unblinking detail. Whether addressing \"what really goes on in the kitchen of Chinese restaurants\" or a series of ex-boyfriends, all named Michael, Chin displays his remarkable emotional range and voice as a poet. His raw, incantatory, stream-of-consciousness poems confront issues of race, desire, and loss with a compelling urgency that reflects his work as in performance, speaking directly to an audience. Throughout this collection, Chin demonstrates his uncanny ability to convey thought-provoking viewpoints on a variety of controversial subjects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manic D Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780916397470\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Lambda Literary Awards - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Lambda Literary Awards - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Firecracker Alternative Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Firecracker Alternative Book Award - Nominee","brand":"Justin Chin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36645894586524,"sku":"9780916397470","price":11.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_fe955aae-38f1-4ae0-83c5-bfb29da1440b.jpg?v=1603862428","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/bite-hard-9780916397470","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
