{"product_id":"9781913211769","title":"Warriors by Sundra Lawrence","description":"\"Warriors won the Aryamati poetry prize in 2021. The selected poems are a brave testimony to Sundra Lawrence's linguistic ambitions. The pamphlet spans a thirty-year history, against the shadow of the Sri Lankan civil war, told from the voices of first and second generation British Tamils. We are privy to a poetic sensibility that seamlessly interweaves themes of migration and conflict with empathy and a deftness of touch. Lawrence peels back layers of cultural identities, shifting through zones of language; forging new identities in found locations; to saving \"the seconds\/ that slip into the soil\" of early motherhood, to \"100,000 books burning to black pollen\" to \"love in a two-star hotel off the Harrow Road\". This collection holds a candle to the dark, brimming with courageous and complex love. \"\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308781416821,"sku":"9781913211769","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781913211769.jpg?v=1762809081","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781913211769","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
