This is a goddamn terrific book! - Thomas Lux, author of God Particles \"\"Weapons Grade is both whistleblower and elegy, a tour de force in the expansive in-your-face tradition of Susan Griffin and Garry Trudeau.

This is Terese Svoboda's grave view of America today, in her new collection Weapons Grade (the name of a grisly atrocity game), but she makes poems that laugh anyway!... Sweet - or sharp - tempered comedy empowers Svoboda to address the direst subjects in a prophetic and scary book full of hilarious noises.\"\" - Caroline Knox, author of Quaker Guns","brand":"University of Arkansas Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041333805399,"sku":"9781557289063","price":17.05,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781557289063.jpg?v=1750949859","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/weapons-grade-9781557289063","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
