It follows the figure of the female artist as a time-travelling woman, embodied by mother and daughter, through the gallery of memory. The poems enact brief encounters with objects, events, and works of art that hold us accountable. Finally, a set of shadow elegies mourn what the next generation has already lost, while searching for traces of the wild and for ceremonies that might mend us. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWaking Occupations\u003c\/i\u003e is an urgent, essential collection that considers what we carry from previous generations and our liabilities to the cyclical nature of the work that uplifts us.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Phoebe Wang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0771099398\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780771099397\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McClelland \u0026amp; Stewart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.43h x 5.43w x 0.32d","brand":"Phoebe Wang","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990608740607,"sku":"9780771099397","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_038ff96a-aa4b-414d-8a55-d148e19d9bc1.jpg?v=1683305632","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/waking-occupations-phoebe-wang-9780771099397","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
