In Ulrike Almut Sandig's latest volume of poetry, it is only a leap from the creation of the world to the symphony of the Berlin metropolis. And there is a question holding out off the coast of Lampedusa: Can shining sheep be used as night storage for the dark hours, when we are overwhelmed with fears of God, of a gym teacher with a whistle, of mothers with eyes as black as coal? In devastating sequences, Sandig charts the reality of an abused child, victims of contemporary war, or a fourteenth-century Madonna. Full of humor, musicality, lightness, and rage, \u003ci\u003e Shining Sheep\u003c\/i\u003e is not just visual poetry--it has loops in your ear and filmic explosions of imagery for all your senses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Seagull Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/05\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781803092522\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132","brand":"Ulrike Almut Sandig","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43124502692021,"sku":"9781803092522","price":17.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_4cbc20f9-3eb9-4c7d-80bb-c89300040405.jpg?v=1694553415","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/shining-sheep-poems-9781803092522","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
