Ever since her first Carcanet book, \u003ci\u003e In White Ink \u003c\/i\u003e(1991), Mimi Khalvati has been drawn to the sonnet form. In \u003ci\u003eAfterwardness \u003c\/i\u003eits pull became irresistible. She has created in this unprogrammatic series, mixing memory, history, daily life, all her intersecting geographies and cultures, a self-portrait in all her moods, anxieties and delights. The sonnet form is stretched in all sorts of fruitful directions. Just as she adapted the ghazal form to English use, here she puts the Petrarchan sonnet to striking, unfamiliar use, widening the possibilities of the form. The poems are rich with Khalvati's personal history, her Iranian origins, her long years in Great Britain. The poems play between cultures, ancestral and acquired.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mimi Khalvati\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1784107999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784107994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Carcanet Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.20w x 0.30d","brand":"Mimi Khalvati","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45064643444991,"sku":"9781784107994","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e6a649b5-b413-4963-a2bb-dbe29c54680b.jpg?v=1712124732","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/afterwardness-mimi-khalvati-9781784107994","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
