It reads not as a curated volume but as a \u003cem\u003elife-in-progress\u003c\/em\u003e: love, trauma, faith, and social violence recorded almost in real time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dominant energy is \u003cstrong\u003econfession and memorialization\u003c\/strong\u003e. Reid writes from the wound and through the wound - every poem attempts to preserve or redeem loss: lost lovers, lost parents, lost teachers, lost innocence, and lost nations. It's both \u003cem\u003epersonal diary\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003ehistorical lament\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStylistically, the language is modern free verse with a heavy influence from the confessional tradition (Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton, early Hughes), but also from the elegiac lyricism of war poets (Owen, Sassoon) and the raw immediacy of contemporary spoken-word poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liam Reid","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47568759685271,"sku":"9798232684655","price":1443.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798232684655.webp?v=1774870636","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/my-soul-in-stanzas-9798232684655","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
