{"product_id":"9781632430977","title":"Gut by Amanda Larson","description":"These poems follow the aftermath of and recovery from trauma.    ? Amanda Larson's Gut begins with an epigraph from Frank O'Hara: \"Pain always produces logic, which is very bad for you.\" From there, Larson launches an unflinching interrogation of how a young woman maintains agency in the wake of trauma, violence, and desire. Larson spins a conversation between works of feminist theory-including the those of Cathy Caruth, Susan Bordo, Patricia Hill Collins, Anne Carson, H?l?ne Cixous, and bell hooks-and her own experiences. The book moves through Larson's recovery while questioning the limits of the very term and of language as a whole. She employs a variety of different forms, including prose, Q\u0026amp;A poems, and a timeline, reflecting both the speaker's obsession with control and her growing willingness to let it go. With a measured voice, Larson finds a path for how to move beyond logic during processes of trauma and recovery.
