In Ulrike Almut Sandig's latest volume of poetry, it is only a leap from the creation of the world to the symphony of the Berlin metropolis. And there is a question holding out off the coast of Lampedusa: Can shining sheep be used as night storage for the dark hours, when we are overwhelmed with fears of God, of a gym teacher with a whistle, of mothers with eyes as black as coal? In devastating sequences, Sandig charts the reality of an abused child, victims of contemporary war, or a fourteenth-century Madonna. Full of humor, musicality, lightness, and rage, \u003ci\u003e Shining Sheep\u003c\/i\u003e is not just visual poetry--it has loops in your ear and filmic explosions of imagery for all your senses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ulrike Almut Sandig\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1803092521\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781803092522\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Seagull Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/07\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.43h x 5.20w x 0.63d","brand":"Ulrike Almut Sandig","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44245188837631,"sku":"9781803092522","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c87945de-989a-40da-8ac9-20458c37ed60.jpg?v=1693926639","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shining-sheep-ulrike-almut-sandig-9781803092522","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
