{"product_id":"book-emaq","title":"Requeening","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e“A rare feat for any book of poems, let alone a debut, in that the lines, wrought with such deft precision and care, mark the sum total of a life richly lived and felt at the seat of poetry…These poems care, first and foremost, for what they write of and through, which is a much needed—yet increasingly rare—achievement.” - Ocean Vuong\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEngaging the matriarchal structure of the beehive, Amanda Moore explores the various roles a woman plays in the family, the home, and the world at large. Beyond the productivity and excess, the sweetness and sting, \u003cem\u003eRequeening\u003c\/em\u003e brings together poems of motherhood and daughterhood, an evolving relationship of care and tending, responsibility and joy, dependence and deep love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poems that anchor this collection don’t shy away from the inevitability of a hive’s collapse and consider the succession of “requeening” a hive as “a new heart ready to be fed and broken and fed again.” The collapse is both physical—there are poems of illness and recovery—and emotional, as the mother-daughter relationship shifts, the daughter becoming separate, whole, and poised to displace. The liminal spaces these poems traverse in human relationships is echoed in a range of poetic and hybrid form, offering freedom and stricture as they contemplate the way we hold one another in love and grief.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRequeening\u003c\/em\u003e is a vivid and surprising collection of poems from a winner of the National Poetry Series Open Competition. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49343850479920,"sku":"BDemaq","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49343850512688,"sku":"ZEemaq","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49343850545456,"sku":"ZMemaq","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/emaq-Square-cover.jpg?v=1777169541","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-emaq","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
