Emerging from the dark ecology between lullaby and ghost story, The pedestrian meanders down a labyrinth of divinatory time where crimes demand a more defective detective. To conjure the source of this text's trauma, the poet becomes a ritual detective, tracing the wound by its shadow. Meaning emerges through distortion and echo-courting what cannot be seen head-on to create a haunted grammar of grief. An ill pastoral of displacement, The pedestrian turns domestic spaces into underworlds, the body of the exiled child into a prophetic threshold-it listens as much as it speaks, attuned to forces beyond itself. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56369077813621,"sku":"9781643623115","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781643623115.jpg?v=1763551973","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781643623115","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
