Maggie Nelson describes her work as a \"real-time excavation of what poetry can and can't do.\" In Instructions for The Lovers, Martin's most stripped-down and direct work to date, she creates a poetic field dense with thought, image, and sound as she reflects on her relationship with her mother, experiences of queer polyamory, lesbian sex, and the racist conditions within the dying American university system. With rigorously embodied vulnerability and virtuosity, Martin constructs moments of pleasure, humor, and sexiness woven with grief—a tender body to live in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 228 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781643622316\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dawn Lundy Martin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46540854034682,"sku":"9781643622316","price":11.57,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1723234361911_book.jpg?v=1723380135","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/instructions-for-the-lovers-9781643622316","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
