Here, the tongue becomes a collaboration between human and glacial current--the self, a \"tectonic topography of god.\" Grappling with questions of mortality in the wake of his mother's passing, Ali asks where we go when we leave this world: \"earth or sky or memory only.\" With musicality, these poems build a space for contemplation, offering vignettes of various individuals, memories, and geographies. We learn that in migration, the body moves, reproduces itself through the experience of losing and living still.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Copper Canyon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781556597299\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120","brand":"Kazim Ali","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52750181728437,"sku":"9781556597299","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-man-in-119-9781556597299","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
