{"product_id":"9781685971014","title":"Vespers - Jane Lewty","description":"Often called \"evening prayer,\" vespers is held around sunset. Its purpose: to give thanks for the day and offer a sacrifice of praise to God. In Jane Lewty's Vespers, she superimposes the tropes of the Christian ritual onto a very different type of sacrifice-that of making art. Through nightly devotion, the speaker of these poems maps ritual until it degrades: the speaker as an obedient robot, a scribe-concubine, a centaur wearing skates, a poet seeking virtuosity and dexterity. Vespers asks: What if writing prompts are a bad idea? What if one could become addicted to the incremental process? Is it possible to walk away from an addiction without suffering and trauma?","brand":"Jane Lewty","offers":[{"title":"144 pages \/ 10\/11\/2026 \/ Religion \u0026 beliefs","offer_id":57556997472631,"sku":"9781685971014","price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781685971014","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
