{"product_id":"the-best-prey-9780807175484","title":"The Best Prey","description":"Paige Qui ones's incisive debut poetry collection investigates the trauma of desire. Qui ones's lyric world is populated with stark dualities: procreation and childlessness, predator and prey, mania and depression. A hunter pursues an ill-fated fox through the woods; heaven is paved with girls who would rather drown than be born; a couple returns from their honeymoon to find a stagnant pond in their marriage bed. Through navigating these duplicities, Qui ones arrives at a version of femininity that is at once fierce and crystalline, and unmistakably her own. She writes, \"My reflection can only growl back, in water or oil-slick or silver. This is an exercise in forgiveness. I dip my feet in.\" \u003ci\u003eThe Best Prey\u003c\/i\u003e charts the complexity of hunger in vivid, visceral terms, and ultimately arrives at a sense of self that encompasses the contradictions of sensuality, violence, and power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/ssearch?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-14064382\"\u003ePaige Quiñones\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LSU Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 7.80w x 0.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807175484\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080717548X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/ssearch?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POE\"\u003ePoetry\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/ssearch?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POE005070\"\u003eAmerican | Hispanic \u0026amp; Latino\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/ssearch?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POE\"\u003ePoetry\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/ssearch?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POE024000\"\u003eWomen Authors\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaige Quiñones \u003c\/b\u003ehas received awards and fellowships from the Center for Mexican-American Studies, the Academy of American Poets, and Inprint Houston.
