As Rachel Eliza Griffiths notes, Montilla's \"powers orbit and intuit the lives of Philando Castile, Captain America, Christian Cooper, Karl Marx, Ahmaud Arbery, Eartha Kitt, and many more while stitching our wounded identities, memories, and histories in defiant poems of revision and joyous reclamation.\" The vertebral odes of this collection at turns uplift desire, affirm life, celebrate protest, and condemn the violent greed of imperial usurpation that has produced the U.S. as we know it. Both in its criticism and its admiration, \u003ci\u003eMuse Found in a Colonized Body\u003c\/i\u003e calls upon its readers to rise to the occasion of these lyrics' profound care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 108\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.32 x 8.9 x 5.83 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 15, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAward:\u003c\/strong\u003e Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards (2022)\u003c\/div\u003e\n                ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47351102931193,"sku":"9781954245327","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/YnVWYkQ4a01TZTk5bjE2UWQyQ0RvUT09.webp?v=1769795168","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/muse-found-in-a-colonized-body-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
