{"product_id":"on-bearing-witness","title":"On Bearing Witness","description":"In On Bearing Witness, Abeer Ameer explores the difficulty and the joy of witnessing, asking what it means to look directly at suffering while still making room for faith, tenderness and solace. Her second collection, following Inhale\/Exile, shortlisted for Wales Book of the Year 2022, includes ‘at least’, winner of the Forward Prize for Best Single Poem (Written) 2025.   Moving through Iraq from Baghdad to Mosul, and following the stories of families in Iraq and the UK, these poems record lives shaped by war. At their heart is the connection between generations and people separated by geography and history. Grounded in faith and remembrance, this collection bears witness to the sum of human life, whether that includes brutality and suffering, or laughter, survival and love.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57680012673397,"sku":"9781911752189","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/on-bearing-witness","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
