She evokes a home no longer accessible and a body at times uninhabitable, often mirrored by a hybrid Eve\/Caliban figure. Blooming with intense lyricism and fertile imagery, these fullblooded poems are elegant, mythic, and intricately woven. Here the female body is a dark landscape; the female body is cannibal. Sinclair shocks and delights her readers with her willingness to disorient and provoke, creating a multitextured collage of beautiful and explosive poems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45902039875782,"sku":"DADAX0803290632","price":21.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/610xQ4CG5YL.jpg?v=1780335841","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/cannibal-the-raz-shumaker-prairie-schooner-book-prize-in-poetry","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
