Exposing the effects of widespread toxic misogyny, this confrontational volume examines societal, cultural, and personal gaslighting in situations of domestic abuse. As Molberg writes in Loving Ophelia Is, \"\"love and hate simultaneously is the trick of abuse \/ and the trick of abuse is a vexation of the mind.\"\" A sequence of epistolary poems looks to friendship as a safe haven from violent romantic relationships, while another series on a mother's struggle with addiction captures the complicated nature of a parent-child relationship affected by alcoholism. Refusal seeks to break silences and to interrogate a cultural misogyny that weighs heavily on a woman's position in the world.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49735643758865,"sku":"NGR9780807170748","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50155422417169,"sku":"CIN0807170747G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51007891243281,"sku":"NIN9780807170748","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52404621639953,"sku":"NLS9780807170748","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0807170747.jpg?v=1762596617"},{"product_id":"adelaide-crapsey-on-the-life-and-work-of-an-american-master-book-jenny-molberg-9780997099409","title":"Adelaide Crapsey: On the Life and Work of an American Master","description":"Poetry. Women's Studies. Crapsey's selected poetry reads as the lost ligament between the essaying narratives of the nineteenth century and the spare, imagist experiments of the twentieth. Like Rilke, she belonged to neither world, though she mapped her poetic lineage back to the Romantics, specifically the doomed, dark February of John Keats in Rome. As the likes of Carl Sandburg praised her, she innovated forms based on Japanese haiku and tanka while Pound conjured up his metro apparitions. She is no voice of the old world nor the new.--David Keplinger \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAdelaide Crapsey was a visionary poet whose innovative approaches to form laid the groundwork for modernist poetics. Her 5-line cinquains bristle, breathlessly compressed, wriggling and alive. Though her spare, evocative, poems paved the way for the imagists, her work is also undeniably fresh and strange and contemporary, as when she addresses her failing lung, calling it a freak I cannot pardon. In this Unsung Masters anthology, Crapsey--a vital, game-changing poet--finally takes her place in literary history.--Hadara Bar-Nadav \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt is high time contemporary literary scholars attended to the poetic voice of Adelaide Crapsey, a neglected New York literary treasure, whose verse at once illuminates and complicates the spirit of the fin de si cle and modernist literary movements in America. Molberg and Bancroft have compiled a collection of Crapsey's work poised to advance our understanding of the female experience of pain, loss, and courage in America. What an appropriate moment to reintroduce Crapsey, given our overdue contemporary evolution, wherein the world is--we hope--finally learning what it means to listen to, hear, and even value the unique female experience.--Ashley E.

For Jenny Molberg, the invisible and barely visible are forms of memory, articulations of our place in the cosmos. Parsing the intersections between science and personal history, and contemplating archival letters from 17th- and 18th-century scientists along with new studies in biological phenomena, Molberg's poems examine complexities of relationships with parents and the faultiness of certainty about earthly permanence. In the title poem, a child begins by looking at an ant through a microscope, and later, as a husband and father, with the same discerning eye he recognizes the cancer in his wife's breast. Marvels of the Invisible sounds the depths of both grief and amazement, two kinds of awareness inseparably entwined.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50459634925841,"sku":"CIN1936797925G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51201986003217,"sku":"NGR9781936797929","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1936797925.jpg?v=1751062138"},{"product_id":"court-of-no-record-book-jenny-molberg-9780807179024","title":"The Court of No Record","description":"Jenny Molberg's third collection of poetry, The Court of No Record, serves as both evidence and testimony against a legal system that often fails victims of physical trauma and domestic abuse. Drawing inspiration from true crime investigations and artifacts, including Frances Glessner Lee's crime scene dioramas and the tragic aftermaths of two serial killers who preyed upon women in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Molberg probes a cultural obsession with violence that performs active erasure of victims' lives. By engaging with historical texts through a personal lens, she sheds light on survivors who do not find justice and looks toward a future of positive systemic reformation.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51007946195217,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51007950127377,"sku":"NIN9780807179024","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52685852573969,"sku":"NLS9780807179024","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0807179027.jpg?v=1762596992"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-jenny-molberg.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
