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\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI forgot the oath: \u003cbr\u003eDo no harm.\u003cbr\u003e -from \"Yesterday, I Went to the Market\"","brand":"University of Alberta Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47889097130135,"sku":"9781772125481","price":1829.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781772125481.webp?v=1781174199","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-bad-wife-9781772125481","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
