What does it mean to belong to a city, or to truly enter adulthood? Imbued with a quiet queerness, this book is a guide for living in the aftermath of familial rifts, crises of faith, political struggle, and intergenerational grief--all while remaining devoted to an idea of goodness.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA love letter to Toronto, \u003cem\u003eLantern\u003c\/em\u003e is grounded in subway stations and city parks yet textured like watercolour and linen. Wani writes with reverence for animals, trees and flowers, but does not avoid everyday difficulties--the burnout of a 9-5; her fraught homeland of Kashmir; or the reality of Islamophobia in Canada. Wani also addresses the craft and the limits of language. \u003cem\u003eLantern\u003c\/em\u003e is kaleidoscopic in its queries: memory, mothering and morality refract through tarot, Sufism, and psychoanalysis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA balm and an ode, this collection places Wani in the lineage of Mary Oliver while carving her own path as both theo- and ecopoet. Taking stock of one precious life, \u003cem\u003eLantern\u003c\/em\u003e invites us to consider our responsibilities--to ourselves and each other--and to choose who we might become.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sanna Wani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 148701371X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487013714\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e House of Anansi Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/22\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Sanna Wani","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48517078057215,"sku":"9781487013714","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_04ba55e3-6193-4343-854d-0ea6612f3541.jpg?v=1778729751","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lantern-sanna-wani-9781487013714","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
