Driven by what is residual--displacement, family, violent yet delicate masculinity, undervalued yet imperative work--Alluri's lines quiver with the poet's distinctive rendering of praise and lament steeped with \"gravity and blood\" where \"the smell of ants being born surrounds us\" and \"city lights form constellations \/\/ invented to symbolize war.\" \u003cem\u003eThe Flayed City\u003c\/em\u003e offers a powerful glimpse into a secondary world whose cities, cultural histories and trajectories are hybrids or \"immigrated\" versions of this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hari Alluri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1885030479\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781885030474\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kaya Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/28\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.50w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/20\/2017","brand":"Hari Alluri","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939065594111,"sku":"9781885030474","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_9aea534b-10dd-4ff0-8447-5f2f3670aea1.jpg?v=1681439293","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-flayed-city-hari-alluri-9781885030474","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
