Seized from a miniaturist's perspective, the subjects are privileged moments: a child mat-riding on a Red Flag day; birds in a tropical forest; Greek sailors dancing; a trek in the Himalayas; drug overdoses during an affair with a terrorist dragon lady; personal experiences that combine into an oeuvre and a life. Magowan's aim is to take the reader inside, as far as possible, using an instinctive notation to register his fascination with sensation, movement, and color. If it is mysticism--an awakening to the now--it is one that is happening line by line, and at times letter by letter, in a form that is lyrical, rhythm driven, and highly intensified.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of South Carolina Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47591378256023,"sku":"9781570032707","price":1975.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781570032707.webp?v=1774972758","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/lilac-cigarette-in-a-wish-cathedral-9781570032707","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
