{"product_id":"dark-testament-39091","title":"Dark Testament","description":"\u003cp\u003eWritten in response to the Black Lives Matter Movement, with poems found within the text of George Saunders's Lincoln in the Bardo, Crystal Simone Smith embarks on an uncompromising exploration of collective mourning and crafts a masterwork that resonates far beyond the page. These blackout poems are visually stark, a gathering of gripping verses that unmasks a dialogue of tragic truths—the stories of lives taken unjustly and too soon. Bold and deeply affecting, Dark Testament is a remarkable reckoning with our present moment, a call to action, and a plea for a more just future. This collection of poems provides rich mentor texts for teacher to explore the craft of poetry, and also provides exemplars for students to craft their own poems in response to issues that are important to them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43665391484988,"sku":null,"price":26.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/3677\/6508\/files\/9781250854360.jpg?v=1762990008","url":"https:\/\/nssbb.ednet.ns.ca\/products\/dark-testament-39091","provider":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
