{"product_id":"9781772126372","title":"The Bad Wife","description":"\u003cp\u003eMicheline Maylor’s The Bad Wife is an intimate, first-hand account of how to ruin a marriage. This is a story of divorce, love, and what should have been, told in a brave and unflinching voice. Pulling the reader into a startling web of sensuality, guilt, resentment, and pleasure, this collection asks: what if you set off a bomb in your own house? What if you lose love and destroy everything you ever knew? These poems have a disarming immediacy, full of surprising imagery, dark humour, and the bold thoughts of a vibrant and flawed protagonist. Balancing a need for wildness and the space to dwell, The Bad Wife explores the taut confines of those vivid, earthly pleasures that we all know and sometimes can’t escape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eI forgot the oath:\n\u003cbr\u003eDo no harm.\n\u003cbr\u003e   -from “Yesterday, I Went to the Market”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Micheline Maylor (CA)","offers":[{"title":"University of Alberta Press |  Paperback |  2021-03-09","offer_id":46135063281919,"sku":"9781772125481","price":19.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_0773704f-2271-4097-9ff9-6ea66917db00.jpg?v=1726337422","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781772126372","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
