{"product_id":"q-is-for-garden-jenny-chamarette-9781526197337","title":"Q is for Garden","description":"A bold, tender exploration of how queerness and nature entwine – and what happens when we step beyond the binaries that fence us in.    There is a Q in garden, but you can’t always see it.    When Jenny Chamarette faced a devastating health crisis, they found themselves unmoored from the rules of gender, sexuality and productivity. In a small South London garden, Jenny began to imagine another way of living: porous, unruly, rooted in the lessons of soil and plant life. Gardens, like identities, are usually bounded – but what if those limits can be re-drawn? Blending memoir and cultural criticism, this book asks whether the categories we inherit – colonial, patriarchal, conventions of sexuality and gender – still serve us, or whether they confine us. From illness and recovery to queer love and ecological wonder, Q is for garden invites readers to reimagine how we inhabit land, culture and each other.    An eloquent work of nature writing and queer thought, Q is for garden digs into the rich history of queer gardeners, botanists, artists and agriculturalists. It offers a hopeful vision of belonging, if we are curious enough to unearth it. -- .","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51952682565920,"sku":"9781526197337","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781526197337_2915135.jpg?v=1783412322","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/q-is-for-garden-jenny-chamarette-9781526197337","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
