{"product_id":"the-octopus-museum-9781524711498b","title":"The Octopus Museum","description":"\u003cb\u003eNow in paperback, this collection of bold and scathingly beautiful feminist poems imagines what comes after our current age of environmental destruction, racism, sexism, and divisive politics.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInformed as much by Brenda Shaughnessy's worst fears as a mother as they are by her superb craft as a poet, the poems in \u003ci\u003eThe Octopus Museum\u003c\/i\u003e blaze forth from her pen: in these pages, we see that what was once a generalized fear for our children is now hyper-reasonable, specific, and multiple: school shootings, nuclear attack, loss of health care, a polluted planet. As Shaughnessy conjures our potential future, she movingly (and often with humor) envisions an age where cephalopods might rule over humankind, a fate she suggests we may just deserve after destroying their oceans. These heartbreaking, terrified poems are the battle cry of a woman who is fighting for the survival of the world she loves, and a stirring exhibition of who we are as a civilization.","brand":"Knopf","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42819159621712,"sku":"9781524711498B","price":10.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9781524711498-l.jpg?v=1785874850","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-octopus-museum-9781524711498b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
