These dynamic, funny, often poignant poems investigate the nature of tyranny in all of its forms political, cultural, familial, and erotic. Poems about Stalin, Lenin, and Castro appear beside poems about deeply personal histories. The result is a powerful exploration of desire, grief, and loss in a world where private relationships are always illuminated and informed by larger, more despotic forces. \u003cbr\u003e Winner, Midwest Book Award for Poetry, Midwest Independent Publishers Association\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 264\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.59 x 9.06 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 28, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42113319927888,"sku":"9780299130640","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/9540\/0016\/files\/REt0ckdKNDZGWlE3TEsrMnlQbm9FQT09.webp?v=1772660971","url":"https:\/\/palm-malen-gift-shop-pmrc.myshopify.com\/products\/parables-and-fables-exegesis-textuality-and-politics-in-central-africa-paperback","provider":"Palm Malen Gift Shop -PMRC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
