{"product_id":"9781956046250","title":"Reader, I by Corey Van Landingham","description":"A brand new collection from multi-award winning poet Corey Van Landingham.?Reader, I draws its title from the conclusion to Charlotte Bront?'s Jane Eyre: \"Reader, I married him.\" Spanning the first years of a marriage, the speaker in Reader, I both courts and eschews nuptial myths, as its speaker-tender and callous, skeptical and hopeful, daughter and lover-finds a role for herself in marriage, in history, in something beyond the self. While these poems burn with a Plathian fire, they also address and invite in a reader who is, as in Jane Eyre, a confidant. Steeped in a world of husbands and fathers, patriarchal nations and power structures, Reader, I traverses bowling alleys and hospital rooms, ancient Troy and public swimming pools, to envision domestic life as a metaphor for civic life, and vice versa.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56313226428789,"sku":"9781956046250","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781956046250.jpg?v=1762826024","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781956046250","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
