She reaches for the lush landscapes--real and recounted--of the Philippines and the American South as she traces the lineage of a body shaped by economic, ecological, and political dissonance. As one poem reminds us, \"it's so hard to write about love without writing about the country we live in.\" These thirty-eight poems, threaded together with a six-part braided sequence, bind a multigenerational conversation between grandmothers, mothers, and aunts through a range of forms, from pantoums to prose poems. With its vivid imagery and an unforgettable lyrical perspective, \u003ci\u003eMaybe the Body \u003c\/i\u003ereconsiders the natural transactions of work, intimacy, and the poem itself.","brand":"Tin House","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47776406470807,"sku":"9781963108682","price":1253.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781963108682.webp?v=1777996060","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/maybe-the-body-poems-9781963108682","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
