{"product_id":"unfinished-grief-9781479837281","title":"Unfinished Grief","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTakes up the work of artists and theorists who ask what happens when we learn to linger, dwell, live, and work with queer grief\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat if, instead of overcoming grief, we learned to live with it? \u003ci\u003eUnfinished Grief\u003c\/i\u003e invites readers to linger within loss and to understand mourning not as an endpoint, but as a mode of relation, continuance, and care.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this lyrical follow-up to his acclaimed \u003ci\u003eAfter the Party,\u003c\/i\u003e Joshua Chambers-Letson turns toward the art and theory of grief as a way of imagining queer survival. Drawing from queer of color critique, performance studies, Asian American studies, and Black studies, Chambers-Letson explores how love and loss are inseparable conditions of queer life. Engaging artists including Yoko Ono, Gertrude Stein, Bimbola Akinbola, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Joshua Rains, and Kia LaBeija, he considers the lessons art and performance teach about living with what remains unfinished.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSet against the backdrop of public and private catastrophe, from war and pandemics to the ravages of racial capitalism, \u003ci\u003eUnfinished Grief\u003c\/i\u003e insists that mourning and political struggle are entwined practices. Through sensuous, reflective prose and a deeply personal critical voice, Chambers-Letson reveals how grief can be both a sustaining and shattering site of vulnerability, creativity, and communal becoming. Intimate, meditative, and defiantly alive, \u003ci\u003eUnfinished Grief\u003c\/i\u003e reflects on the queer art of mourning in this guide to the beautiful, difficult work of staying with loss and finding life within it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joshua Chambers-Letson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48274303975675,"sku":"9781479837281","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_8120fed7-115e-4318-acf3-3db38cdfb584.jpg?v=1780546464","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/unfinished-grief-9781479837281","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
