{"product_id":"9781786940193","title":"Fourth Person Singular by Nuar Alsadir","description":"Shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best Collection 2017A Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry 2017Claudia Rankine described the poems in Alsadir's first book as 'lawless,' `provocative, and 'heartbreaking' as they 'converse from the inside out. come alive in the back and forth of a mind attempting to understand what it means to be in relation to.' Fourth Person Singular?continues to blow open the relationship between self and world in a working through of lyric shame, bending poetic form through fragment, lyric essay, aphorisms mined from the unconscious, and pop-up associations, to explore the complexities, congruities, disturbances - as well as the beauty - involved in self-representation in language. As unexpected as it is bold, Alsadir's ambitious tour de force demands we pay new attention to the current conversation about the nature of lyric - and human relationships - in the 21st century.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56305007100277,"sku":"9781786940193","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781786940193.jpg?v=1762796688","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781786940193","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
