{"product_id":"mitochondrial-night-9781566895323","title":"Mitochondrial Night","description":"\u003cp\u003eTaking mitochondrial DNA as his guide, Lee explores familial and national legacies, and their persistence across shifting boundaries and the erosions of time. In these poems, the trait of an ancestor appears in the face of a newborn, and in her cry generations of women's voices echo. Stories, both benign and traumatic, travel as lore and DNA. Using lush, exact imagery, whether about the corner bar or a hilltop in Korea, Lee is a careful observer, tracking and documenting the way that seemingly small moments can lead to larger insights.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom \u003cem\u003eMitochondrial Night\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e We're drumming, \u003cbr\u003ehe explained, in the tradition\u003cbr\u003eof shamans, \u003cbr\u003eso the ancestors won't be so lonely.\u003cbr\u003eBecause spirits need us\u003cbr\u003emore than we need them.\u003cbr\u003eAnd for hours\u003cbr\u003e they'll listen to anyone\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Coffee House Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/05\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781566895323\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/25\/2019\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ed Bok Lee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36659993149596,"sku":"9781566895323","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_1573a64c-9384-4428-be3a-d02a2ef21a34.jpg?v=1603895893","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/mitochondrial-night-9781566895323","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
