As a nonspeaking autistic writer with Down syndrome who must navigate immense sensorimotor complexity, his short poems are both muscular and agile, displaying a dexterity replete with vertiginous grace: \"Spinning I harness \/ poetry of the Earth. \/\/ The Sufi dances \/ in me to dare me \/\/ to scare your loud \/ soul to ensnare \/\/ my fearful mind to \/ bare some misery \/ to bear some truth.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGhosh writes beyond his years and from a perspective steeped in queer and fractaled sensibilities. As one who is \"simply privy to a new road,\" he renders neurodiverse thought patterns as truly divine. The poems that result bristle with wisdom, divergence, and the \"generosity of deep rivers.\" Unprecedented in its genius and composition, this collection of poems is sure to leave readers wide-eyed and breathless.\u003c\/p\u003e\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 08\/19\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781639551200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120","brand":"Sid Ghosh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51258262782133,"sku":"9781639551200","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_8d58a11f-a776-457a-9139-eee3f597cb33.jpg?v=1750814611","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/yellow-flower-gills-me-whole-poems-9781639551200","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
