Befitting someone who \"speaks things into being,\" Christmas extracts from family history, queer lineage, and the political landscape of a racialized life to create a rich, softly defiant collection of poems. \u003cbr\u003e Christmas draws a circle around the things she calls \"holy\" the family line that cannot find its root but survived to fill the skies with radiant flesh; the body, broken and unbroken and broken and new again; the lover lost, the friend lost, and the loss itself; and the hands that hold them all with brilliant, tender care. Expansive and beautiful, these poems allow readers to swim in Jillian Christmas's mother-tongue and to dream at her shores.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christmas, Jillian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arsenal Pulp Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781551527970\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.90w x 0.40d","brand":"Jillian Christmas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32749413367883,"sku":"9781551527970","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_9de2cc7c-6052-4efc-80da-9b432f1ba42b.jpg?v=1597789034","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/the-gospel-of-breaking-9781551527970","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
