{"product_id":"sharks-in-the-rivers-9781571314383","title":"Sharks in the Rivers","description":"The speaker in this extraordinary collection finds herself multiply dislocated: from her childhood in California, from her family's roots in Mexico, from a dying parent, from her prior self. The world is always in motion -- both toward and away from us--and it is also full of risk: from sharks unexpectedly lurking beneath estuarial rivers to the dangers of New York City, where, as Lim n reminds us, even rats find themselves trapped by the garbage cans they've crawled into. In such a world, how should one proceed? Throughout \u003ci\u003eSharks in the Rivers\u003c\/i\u003e, Lim n suggests that we must cleave to the world as it \"keep s] opening before us,\" for, if we pay attention, we can be one with its complex, ephemeral, and beautiful strangeness. Loss is perpetual, and each person's mouth \"is the same \/ mouth as everyone's, all trying to say the same thing.\" For Lim n, it's the saying--individual and collective -- that transforms each of us into \"a wound overcome by wonder,\" that allows \"the wind itself\" to be our \"own wild whisper.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Milkweed Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781571314383\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 95\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.50w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/28\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2010 pg. 84\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ada Limón","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36660149878940,"sku":"9781571314383","price":13.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_cb1fdd67-490a-411e-ad4b-1a0524ecd6f3.jpg?v=1603896206","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/sharks-in-the-rivers-9781571314383","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
