{"product_id":"return-against-the-flow-9781625570833","title":"Return Against the Flow","description":"\u003cp\u003eReturn Against the Flow by Susana Praver-Pérez is a memoir-in-verse that travels back and forth between Puerto Rico and its diaspora, much like the island's pattern of circular migration over the years. Reflecting her personal journey across geographies and languages, Susana's poems move between English and Spanish, and capture the tempo of ambient sounds, such as drumbeats of bomba, or a black-plumed chango chirping at dawn. She unflinchingly explores the daily struggles Puerto Rico faces, while exuberantly celebrating the island's culture, its peoples, and the concept of \"return\". This is a voyage via words the reader will remember long after turning the last page.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Black Lawrence Press, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/09\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781625570833\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.37d","brand":"Susana Praver-P\u0026#195;\u0026#169;rez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44637590061237,"sku":"9781625570833","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_078f21de-fee9-4d05-8cdb-497e55104564.jpg?v=1726582265","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/return-against-the-flow-9781625570833","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
