With her beloved gravely ill, poet and activist Minnie Bruce Pratt turns to daily walks and writing to find a way to go on in a world where injustice brings so much loss and death. Each poem is a pocket lens \"to swivel out and magnify\" the beauty in \"the little glints, insignificant\" that catch her eye: \"The first flowers, smaller than this s.\" She also chronicles the quiet rooms of \"pain and the body's memory,\" bringing the reader carefully into moments that will be familiar to anyone who has suffered similar loss. Even as she asks, \"What's the use of poetry? Not one word comes back to talk me out of pain,\" the book delivers a vision of love that is boldly political and laced with a tumultuous hope that promises: \"Revolution is bigger than both of us, revolution is a science that infers the future presence of us.\" This lucid poetry is a testimony to the radical act of being present and offers this balm: that the generative power of love continues after death.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49611932762385,"sku":"GOR013656146","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49741167952145,"sku":"NGR9780819580061","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51008314507537,"sku":"NIN9780819580061","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0819580066.jpg?v=1750849841"},{"product_id":"crime-against-nature-book-minnie-bruce-pratt-9780932379733","title":"Crime against Nature","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49889517076753,"sku":"GOR013808167","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50484151910673,"sku":"CIN0932379737G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0932379737.jpg?v=1751140681"},{"product_id":"walking-back-up-depot-street-book-minnie-bruce-pratt-9780822956952","title":"Walking Back Up Depot Street","description":"In Pratt's fourth collection of poetry, the reader travels to a land they have lived in, but never seen.

These fresh, gritty and passionate poems are about the people who survive and resist inside the money machine of 21st-century capitalism: those who ve looked for work and not found it, who ve held a job but wanted more out of life, who believe a better world is still possible. Inspired by the poetic prose of The Communist Manifesto, Inside the Money Machine draws its power from Pratt s own working life and grass-roots organizing, and the struggles of neighbors, co-workers, political activists and loved ones. Pratt writes from inside the failing money machine: The problem is, the plan is not ours. In the tradition of the socially engaged poetry of Muriel Rukeyser and Langston Hughes, Nazim Hikmet of Turkey and Pablo Neruda of Chile, these poems speak to the unfinished work of this moment in history, in a way that poetry seldom does. Inside the Money Machine urges: Let us follow ourselves into a present not ruled by the past.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50374311772433,"sku":"CIN0932112609G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50419631915281,"sku":"CIN0932112609VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51009488781585,"sku":"NIN9780932112606","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0932112609.jpg?v=1751140674"},{"product_id":"crimes-against-nature-book-minnie-bruce-pratt-9780932379726","title":"Crimes Against Nature","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50374614581521,"sku":"CIN0932379729G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0932379729.jpg?v=1751012572"},{"product_id":"dirt-she-ate-book-minnie-bruce-pratt-9780822958260","title":"The Dirt She Ate","description":"Suffused with pain and power, Minnie Bruce Pratt's poetry is as evocative of the swamps and streets of the southern United States as it is of the emotional lives of those too often forced into the margins of society.
