Accumulating into chords and intervals, these poems unite in a song of self that contains multitudes of voice and of form. Piece-by-piece they are hyaline and complex, while the affect of the whole crescendoes into an authentic and important new voice in American poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Varun Ravindran\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1936097605\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781936097609\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baobab Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Varun Ravindran","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46906992328959,"sku":"9781936097609","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_70a6104c-8804-440e-8ee3-2bbb13c183ea.jpg?v=1748771991","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/betweenness-varun-ravindran-9781936097609","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
