Senegalese riflemen from World War I are juxtaposed with migrants at borders who sew their lips shut in protest over immigration policies. In dream-like sequences, the dead refuse to stay underground and \"push against the fence \/ that swings between our realm and theirs.\" Inspired by unexpected sources, including jazz, sculpture, the legacy of the slave trade, proverbs, and elements of Diola culture, Kand�'s poems are rich in musicality and sophisticated syntax, rendered into a lyrical and luminous English by Nancy Naomi Carlson.","brand":"Seagull Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47778858041495,"sku":"9781803096087","price":455.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781803096087.webp?v=1778031640","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/gestuary-9781803096087","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
