{"product_id":"birthplace-with-buried-stones-meena-alexander-9780810152397","title":"Birthplace with Buried Stones","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith their intense lyricism, Meena Alexander's poems convey the fragmented experience of the traveler, for whom home is both nowhere and everywhere. The landscapes she evokes, whether reading Bashō in the Himalayas, or walking a city street, hold echoes of otherness. Place becomes a palimpsest, composed of layer upon layer of memory, dream, and desire. There are poems of love and poems of war--we see the rippling effects of violence and dislocation, of love and its aftermath. The poems in \u003ci\u003eBirthplace with Buried Stones\u003c\/i\u003e range widely over time and place, from Alexander's native India to New York City. We see traces of mythology, ritual, and other languages. Uniquely attuned to life in a globalized world, Alexander's poetry is an apt guide, bringing us face to face with the power of a single moment and its capacity to evoke the unseen and unheard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Meena Alexander\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810152398\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810152397\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Triquarterly Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.47h x 6.18w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/23\/2013","brand":"Meena Alexander","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46172945055999,"sku":"9780810152397","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2fd8d259-aa68-4592-8b49-a4c5c2270a81.jpg?v=1727179546","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/birthplace-with-buried-stones-meena-alexander-9780810152397","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
