In this book, it is all happening at the same time: Covid and Black Lives Matter; praise of all sentient life, while also testifying to the damage already done; a fracture-defying inter-connectedness among loved ones, and other \"families\" (biological, chosen, messed up \u0026amp; made). Benjamin's work is a series of snapshots occurring at once, a commitment to train attention in as many different directions as possible in this particular moment. As Dickinson says in her own poem, \u003cem\u003eit's a crowded heart, but one with a beat no laws can touch\u003c\/em\u003e, ultimately asking, simply, just the best of us, or, at the very least, so much more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rick Benjamin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1956368418\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781956368413\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wayfarer Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/04\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.34d","brand":"Rick Benjamin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44129283440895,"sku":"9781956368413","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0a5548c5-2359-479b-8c3d-ba8e04cd198d.jpg?v=1687463039","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-mob-within-the-heart-rick-benjamin-9781956368413","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
