In this way, the autobiographical Bread Of is a multilayered processing of shame that feeds on itself when left untended. The book's vertical movement can be understood as a quest of sorts, a way of reckoning with and integrating a lost iteration of self. With tenderness and humor, Lessans invites us to share in a return that builds page by page--each centering a text that questions what a poem can be--into an unflinching exploration of what it means to occupy a body that simultaneously falls through and takes up space, a body that carries memory in its tissue, not only of lived experience, but also of an ancient and internal sense of Divinity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ornithopter Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45155736420503,"sku":"9781942723103","price":1251.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781942723103.webp?v=1767913390","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/bread-of-9781942723103","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
