It is an indictment of hateful political rhetoric. In the spirit of Virgil's \u003ci\u003eAeneid\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSpoon River Anthology\u003c\/i\u003e by Edgar Lee Master, it gives voice in symphonic fashion to an assortment of participants (immigrants, border patrol, soldiers, activists, presidents, people dead and alive) involved in the debate on walls. It brings in elements of literature and pop culture, fashion and cuisine. Poetry becomes a tool to explore raw human emotions in all its extremes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ilan Stavans\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822965283\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822965282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2018 pg. 13","brand":"Ilan Stavans","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926549266687,"sku":"9780822965282","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3e51f609-d7a5-4e2f-b2c2-66645b24e5ad.jpg?v=1681083689","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-wall-ilan-stavans-9780822965282","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
