Some of the poems use found material from court transcripts. The murder made international headlines due to the viciousness employed by Virk's assailants: seven girls and one boy between the ages of 13 and 16, five of whom were white. The poems examine in part the poet's remembrances of girlhood, the unease of adolescence, and the circumstances that enable some to pass through adolescence unhurt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Soraya Peerbaye\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1771315547\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771315548\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brick Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.20w x 0.30d","brand":"Soraya Peerbaye","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991098294527,"sku":"9781771315548","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5f256c4d-2aa5-44d3-8145-379756c0997b.jpg?v=1683308427","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tell-soraya-peerbaye-9781771315548","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
