{"product_id":"hands-washing-water","title":"Hands Washing Water","description":"“Chris Abani's poetry resonates with a devastating beauty which cuts through to the heart of human strength.”—Pride\n\nHands Washing Water is Chris Abani's fourth poetry collection—a mischievous book of displacement, exile, ancestry, and subversive humor. The central section, “Buffalo Women,” is a Civil War correspondence between lovers that plays on our assumptions about war, gender, morality, and politics.\n\nSweetest Henri,\nI know we promised to be honest,\none to the other, but your recent missive,\nthough welcome as any epistle from you,\nfilled me with a dread that clung\nlike dampness to wet wood. I am terrified\nfor your immortal soul, dear sweet Henri.\nThis mad war of Lincoln is infecting you\nwith a sickness too depraved to even address. . .\nAbani's writing is ruthless, at times traumatic, and consistently filled with surprising twists and turns.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1556592477\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1556592477.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Abani, Chris\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: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
