{"product_id":"9780807175484","title":"The Best Prey","description":"\u003cp\u003ePaige 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.\"\" The Best Prey 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LSU PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47428915953716,"sku":"9780807175484","price":48.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/9390\/2132\/files\/9780807175484.jpg?v=1774745876","url":"https:\/\/woodslane.com.au\/products\/9780807175484","provider":"Woodslane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
