Through lyric and narrative poems, Dilruba Ahmed's keen observations on birth, motherhood, and death offer a unique way into the beckoning world. Voices of villagers resonate alongside those of global travelers, each searching for an elusive homeland in small towns and cities alike. Vendors hawk their wares at a bazaar in Dhaka. Gyms in Ohio double as mosques for uprooted immigrants. In Ahmed's skillful hands, these disparate subjects adroitly capture the textures of life in this new century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Graywolf Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781555975890\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 95\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.28w x 0.34d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2011 pg. 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/28\/2011\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Dilruba Ahmed","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43132912238773,"sku":"9781555975890","price":12.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_73b7b2af-4b0b-488e-b22c-7ac534e86045.jpg?v=1695135822","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/dhaka-dust-9781555975890","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
