The narrator of the collection navigates his grief and his conflicted sense of masculinity by wandering about an unidentified Faroese village. A complex temporal understanding ebbs and flows throughout, consistently oscillating between the linear and the cyclical, between life and death, blood and the sea, between biology and philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e As the narrator grieves what has been lost, he reimagines and rekindles a kinship with all matter that, in the end, helps him find a new way to connect with his late father, himself, and a more-than-human world that does not rely on nationalist myths or toxic masculinity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kim Simonsen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1945680938\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781945680939\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e White Pine Press (NY)\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 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Kim Simonsen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49001073311999,"sku":"9781945680939","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-biological-composition-of-a-kim-simonsen-9781945680939","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
