{"product_id":"the-anonym-gospels-9781953932235","title":"The anonym gospels","description":"\u003cp\u003eEm J Parsley's the anonym gospels explores faith-and the longing for faith after the loss of it-through the lens of a queer Appalachian \"gospel\" in the Greek sense of the word: \"good news.\" Told in four parts, each gospel takes us through a transition point that we as readers bear witness to: from dogma to questioning, from questioning to fear, from fear to resolution, and what comes after this reckoning: the apocryphal gospel. The good news that these poems have to offer is bittersweet: we must confront the painfully stark realities of loving a place and people that often try to deny our existence, but there is tenderness and care to be found (and created) in that landscape. Parsley interrogates constructed binaries of legitimacy-hetero vs. queer, canonical vs. apocryphal-and ultimately asks us to join them on the \"illegitimate\" side of that binary. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e April Gloaming Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/23\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781953932235\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 58\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 5.00w x 0.15d","brand":"Em J.
