{"product_id":"9781625347787","title":"Chamber after Chamber by Saara Myrene Raappana","description":"Chamber after Chamber is about what fractures, fixes, and refills the hearts of two girls as they grow into women. A loose narrative in three sections, the poems follow a speaker and her cousin through their hardscrabble, backwoods childhood to their separation-both physical and emotional-as adults. From the make-believe apocalypses and cut-and-paste valentines of elementary school to the stadium-seating classrooms and multiplexes of southern China, our speaker tries to leave the shame and dysfunction of her family behind. In China, she begins to see America-and herself-clearly for the first time, and in doing so discovers that both her cousin and her country are inextricably woven into  [her body] part  that never sleeps  the blood and chambered meat  that's like a rock squeezed in a fist  rapping its knuckles on the sweet door  of the body.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56304172237173,"sku":"9781625347787","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781625347787.jpg?v=1762795511","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781625347787","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
