Morton Prize in Poetry, selected by Terrance Hayes.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe debut collection from Simon Shieh, \u003ci\u003eMaster\u003c\/i\u003e is a stark, surreal, and imagistic reckoning with a traumatic past. \u003ci\u003eMaster\u003c\/i\u003e follows the speaker's struggle with masculinity from a martial arts school in upstate New York to a boxing academy in Beijing. Language emerges in this collection not as a neutral witness to a boy’s subjugation, but as the very tool of hegemony, though one which also holds the key to its own undoing, and therefore to freedom. As much as \u003ci\u003eMaster\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of pain, it is also a journey to healing, illuminating that while violence can be our patrimony, it does not have to be our destiny.","brand":"Simon Shieh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48287134187771,"sku":"9781956046212","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_5490d031-5a74-49c8-bba7-6f22c1439e74.jpg?v=1771577811","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/master-9781956046212","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
