{"product_id":"muster-points-9781773854533","title":"Muster Points","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn March 2020, Lucas Crawford was quarantined at the Banff Centre for the Arts, coughing like a good fat asthmatic at high altitude, in the middle of a breakup, not knowing when or how he would get home, or where home would be when he got home. What does a depressed professor do, stranded in a dorm room? Write poems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMuster Points\u003c\/em\u003e is a frank discussion of pleasure, plain, nostalgia, desire, and health from a \"fancy academic\" who refuses to shy away from the blood and sweat of depression or the glorious fluids of queer sex. These poems bring us on a trans boy's trips through the sharp-shard runs of heterosexual marriages, into weird rural masculinities and their fraught survival, into the love language of regret and persistent, inconvenient desire.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs Crawford packs his two suitcases and bangs into past selves, tenuous futures, and a global emergency, he tracks his collisions toughly and tenderly, documenting every relic and clue. He travels to the core of his sexual politic, through the front door and to the back of his mind. \u003cem\u003eMuster Points\u003c\/em\u003e arouses thoughts and provokes them, using visceral language and unequivocal vulnerability to conjure a place where all who enter may be seen as they are seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Calgary Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781773854533\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.82h x 5.91w x 0.47d","brand":"Lucas Crawford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42907774255285,"sku":"9781773854533","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_7ef3b3c0-4a42-4971-9f33-106f1d5963a0.jpg?v=1686668854","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/muster-points-9781773854533","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
