{"product_id":"collective-amnesia","title":"Collective Amnesia","description":"How many abortions have fallen out of your mouth\nwhile counting the men in your life?\nMadness sits at the dinner table, too,\nsaying grace with one eye open.\n--\nThis highly-anticipated debut collection from one of the country’s most acclaimed young voices marks a massive shift in South African poetry. Koleka Putuma’s exploration of blackness, womxnhood and history in Collective Amnesia is fearless and unwavering. Her incendiary poems demand justice, insist on visibility and offer healing. In them, Putuma explodes the idea of authority in various spaces – academia, religion, politics, relationships – to ask what has been learnt and what must be unlearnt.\nThrough grief and memory, pain and joy, sex and self-care, Collective Amnesia is a powerful appraisal, reminder and revelation of all that has been forgotten and ignored, both in South African society, and within ourselves.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0620735082\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0620735082.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Putuma, Koleka\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.
