It offers a poetics fashioned to meet the demands of writing on the cusp between two worlds, hence the songs of exile, the idioms of defiance and survival, a poetry fashioned to meet the existential concerns of the immigrant encounter. But Crusz has gone beyond the theme of mere displacement, by confronting themes such as love, politics, nature, God, and poetics itself. And always there remains the self-conscious, bordering on the postmodern, and, above all, a delightful irony.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduced by Linda Hutcheon, University of Toronto\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rienzi Crusz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1988449057\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781988449050\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mawenzi House Publishers Ltd.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.30d","brand":"Rienzi Crusz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486702448895,"sku":"9781988449050","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3b486561-1250-41b2-b720-8fbfbbbcefb6.jpg?v=1778056393","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/how-to-dance-in-this-rienzi-crusz-9781988449050","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
