{"product_id":"9781472159977","title":"Sharks in the Rivers by Ada Limon","description":"The speaker in this extraordinary collection finds herself multiply dislocated: from her childhood in California, from her family's roots in Mexico, from a dying parent, from her prior self. The world is always in motion and it is also full of risk.   In such a world, how should one proceed? Throughout Sharks in the Rivers, Lim?n suggests that we must cleave to the world as it 'keep[s] opening before us,' for, if we pay attention, we can be one with its complex, ephemeral, and beautiful strangeness. Loss is perpetual, and each person's mouth 'is the same \/ mouth as everyone's, all trying to say the same thing.' For Lim?n, it's the saying - individual and collective - that transforms each of us into 'a wound overcome by wonder,' that allows 'the wind itself' to be our 'own wild whisper'.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56301032866165,"sku":"9781472159977","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781472159977.jpg?v=1762789963","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781472159977","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
