{"product_id":"kingdom-of-gravity-nick-makoha-9781845233334","title":"Kingdom of Gravity","description":"In direct narrative terms the poems in this collection relate to the horrors of the civil war that ousted the brutal tyranny of Idi Amin in Uganda, a war of liberation that brought its own barbarous atrocities. In political terms the poems chart the impact of imperialism and neo-colonialism that lay behind those traumas in the life of the nation. In personal terms, the poems are framed between the contrary pulls of attachment and flight, exile and longing. At their heart is an unwavering curiosity about how people behave in extreme situations, and what this reveals about our common human capacities to indulge grandiose visions, betray them, dissemble, seek revenge and kill.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nick Makoha\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845233336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845233334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peepal Tree Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/05\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.50w x 0.30d","brand":"Nick Makoha","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078689255679,"sku":"9781845233334","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_00707342-462c-4953-ad34-a7d5bf50495c.jpg?v=1685476944","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kingdom-of-gravity-nick-makoha-9781845233334","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
