{"product_id":"9781946482129","title":"Republic of Mercy : Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Sharon Wang's thrilling and corporeal geometry, touch dominates, if often in its `aftermarks': singes, whiffs, folds of fabric, echoing gestures between bodies. With generous language and quicksilver intelligence, Wang expresses `a hunger so large it stops the mouth.' Her poems describe what is `hard and brilliant,' the spaces between objects, and what's left in the wake of losses. \"Despite its attunement both to elegy and to witness, the mode is praise: `He loved the world. He loved it suddenly \/ and without reason.' . . . As the poet works to understand, `If in fact it wasn't possible to build \/ the world anew,' she does build--extravagantly, judiciously, lovingly. The result is a book of radiant integrity.\" - from the judges' citation for the Kundiman Poetry Prize.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookmonger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":52915953369422,"sku":"9781946482129","price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/5795\/6174\/files\/9781946482129_3eac0027-3e13-404e-9387-8101c9799c1a.jpg?v=1781888528","url":"https:\/\/thebookmongerbearsden.co.uk\/products\/9781946482129","provider":"The Bookmonger","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
