In these haunting, urgent poems, Whitney Koo interrogates the notion that death is a singular event. Here, grief is illuminated as a living thing, sometimes violent, sometimes hungry, sometimes a \" long \/ drawn sucker punch.\" Through striking, vivid language, Koo reinvents the elegy as something past, present, future-- and we are both witness and mourner.","brand":"Black Lawrence Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47774710268055,"sku":"9781625571823","price":1242.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781625571823.webp?v=1777986355","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/any-gesture-9781625571823","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
