{"product_id":"book-1u6l","title":"America, A Love Story","description":"New poems on love, family, and art from the author of Soil: The Story of a Black Mother's Garden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmerica, A Love Story is Camille T. Dungy's powerful testament to living and loving as a Black woman and mother in today's America, and her first book of poetry in almost a decade. Piercingly honest and deeply compassionate, this poetry moves through the mounting griefs of contemporary American life with unwavering clarity. The book is part indictment, part celebration-full of gratitude, fear, resistance, and hope. Dungy explores intimacy, parenting, racism, history, and the natural world with clarity and depth. Some poems reflect on the past; others respond to the work of contemporary Black artists. Many are formally playful, including a series of 700-character poems inspired by the 700 hours of sleep a mother loses in her child's first year. Gorgeous, bright, and bold, these poems speak from the edges-between mother and child, body and earth, self and country. They hold tension and tenderness in equal measure, creating a space for love amidst uncertainty.","brand":"Author's Republic","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":66931833274672,"sku":"BD1u6l","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/1u6l-Square-cover.jpg?v=1781215852","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-1u6l","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
