{"product_id":"black-swim","title":"Black Swim","description":"In Black Swim, Nicholas Goodly casts a spell to transform darkness into perfect darkness.\n\nThis stunning debut collection is at once “forged from the hurt parts of the ground,\" and “proof of a miracle,\" spinning ache and sweat and sweetness into a new model of feeling through language. Black people, queer\/trans\/nonbinary people, flamboyant people, lonely people, gaudy people, kind people, witches, artists, and angry people will meet themselves and each other in these pages. Amidst death and against injustice, Goodly's poems bear gifts for and from the ancestors—a necklace, a mirror, a form of offered prayer: “If there is a purpose in this life \/ let me wash my face in it.\"\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1556596510\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1556596510.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Goodly, Nicholas\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
