{"product_id":"crushing-it-9781556595868","title":"Crushing It","description":"The poems in Jennifer L. Knox's darkly imaginative collection, \u003cem\u003eCrushing It\u003c\/em\u003e, unearth epiphanies in an unbounded landscape of forms, voices and subjects--from history to true crime to epidemiology--while exploring our tenuous connections and disconnections. From Merle Haggard lifting his head from a pile of cocaine to absurdist romps through an apocalypse where mushrooms learn to sing, this versatile collection is brimming with dark humor and bright surprise. Alongside Knox's distinctive surrealism, \u003cem\u003eCrushing It\u003c\/em\u003e also reveals autobiography in poems about love, family, and adult ADHD, and Knox's empathetic depictions of the ego's need to assert its precious, singular \"I\" suggest that a self distinct from the hive, the herd, the flock, is an illusion. With clear-eyed spirit, \u003cem\u003eCrushing It\u003c\/em\u003e swallows all the world, and then some.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Copper Canyon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/27\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781556595868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.40d","brand":"Jennifer L.
