{"product_id":"9781800174399","title":"Tablets : Secrets of the Clay by Dunya Mikhail","description":"A bullet \/ then a siren \/ then ruins \/ then a bird song telling the truth' - Dunya MikhailIn her marvellous new poetry collection Tablets: Secrets of the Clay, Dunya Mikhail transforms the world's first symbols - Sumerian glyphs that were carved into clay tablets - into the matter of our everyday contemporary life. Each of the ten sections in her book is composed of twenty-four short poems, and each poem combines both text and drawing. In her note to the collection, Mikhail writes, 'I practiced at least two layers of translation in these tablets: the first from words in one language, Arabic, to another, English; and the second from words to images. What I received from my ancestors are offerings of the future rather than of the past. Now it's my turn to offer them to you.'\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44582817562802,"sku":"9781800174399","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781800174399.jpg?v=1737625516","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781800174399","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
