{"product_id":"expat-poems-robert-rahula-9780999473634","title":"Expat Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis collection consists of expatriate poems selected from five of Robert Rahula's best known books of poetry written during his years living in Europe, Mexico, and Central America. The word expatriate derives from the French word \u003cem\u003eexpatrier\u003c\/em\u003e (and originally from the Latin \u003cem\u003eexpatriatus\u003c\/em\u003e) meaning to banish, and evokes a feeling of being forced out of one's homeland... assuming one ever felt at home to start with. These are the poems of the wanderer, the outcast, the immigrant, the pilgrim, the disenfranchised, the drifter, the wayfarer, and the nomad. Written in the \"portilla\" style of popular Spanish poetry, these existential poems deal with bisexuality, separateness, politics, the expatriate life, aging and death. They are unapologetically polyamorous and realpolitik, occasionally dark, but never despairing. They are emblematic of the expatriate experience everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Rahula\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0999473638\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780999473634\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Alma-Gator\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/18\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.23d","brand":"Robert Rahula","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44321237369087,"sku":"9780999473634","price":14.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1a74ded4-10c3-452d-b283-4e168a5fa024.jpg?v=1696329842","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/expat-poems-robert-rahula-9780999473634","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
