{"product_id":"impossible-things-9781478031093","title":"Impossible Things","description":"Offering an intimate account of intergenerational grief, Miller Oberman's new collection of poetry, \u003ci\u003eImpossible Things\u003c\/i\u003e, explores his experiences as both a transgender child and father. Oberman weaves in passages from his own deceased father's unpublished memoir to engage with the mysterious drowning of his eldest brother, Joshua, at age two, a tragedy that cast a shadow over his childhood. He depicts his own youth and parenthood in the context of his father's trauma, employing queer and trans theory and experimental poetic forms to challenge and expand discourse around fatherhood and masculinity. Oberman moves beyond an attempt to solve the mystery of Joshua's death and interrogates how much we can ever know about our forebears or understand their impacts on our lives. \u003ci\u003eImpossible Things\u003c\/i\u003e offers a necessary intervention into the well-worn terrain of fatherhood\/boyhood memoir and functions as a living elegy, communicating with the past, the dead, and the unknowable while speaking to the possibilities for healing intergenerational trauma.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/22\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478031093\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.28d","brand":"Miller Oberman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44792613765301,"sku":"9781478031093","price":20.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_45781d34-bbbb-4982-afa2-287bb6500859.jpg?v=1731426806","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/impossible-things-9781478031093","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
