{"product_id":"9781771966573","title":"Unmet by stephanie roberts","description":"A Finalist for the 2025 A. M. Klein Prize for PoetryThis is what comes of taking dreams \/ off the horizon. It is the sun \/ or nothing else, you would scream \/ if you weren't caught up in the chorus.   Leaning deliberately on the imagined while scrutinizing reality and hoping for the as-yet-unseen, UNMET?is a poetry collection that explores themes of frustration, justice, and thwarted rescue from a perspective that is Black-Latinx, Canadian, immigrant, and female. Drawing on a wide range of poetics, from Wallace Stevens to Tony Hoagland and Diane Seuss, roberts's musically-driven narrative surrealism confronts such timely issues as police brutality, respectability politics, intimate partner violence, and ecological crisis, and considers the might-have-been alongside the what could be, negotiating the past without losing hope for the future.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56312788058485,"sku":"9781771966573","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781771966573.jpg?v=1762823783","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781771966573","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
