These poems explore the inner landscapes of both the human and animal realms, revealing them to be points along the same spectrum. At the heart of the book lies an extended study of toxic storytelling as an element of warcraft, but Barry also contemplates the death of a Buddhist master, the plight of migrants both at home and abroad, the ethics of travel and consumption, and the larger question of how and why we construct a self in order to navigate the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Quan Barry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822967170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822967170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.83w x 0.24d","brand":"Quan Barry","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44170044670207,"sku":"9780822967170","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_764c8f4c-35ff-48a2-ad89-e1a441ff5b05.jpg?v=1689656481","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/auction-quan-barry-9780822967170","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
