The speaker moves through fire and water, childhood, intimacy and abandonment, always with one eye on the natural world: bears, whales, rivers, storms, animals sleeping in impossible ways. The poems are lyric but narrative-driven, often darkly funny, and fascinated--bordering on obsessed--with the strange facts and small surrealities that make ordinary life feel mythic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt its heart, the book is about imbalance as a kind of truth: the way trauma warps time, the way love can feel like weather, the way the body keeps trying to survive even when the mind wants to disappear. It's a collection for readers who like their beauty a little feral--poems that are tender but not precious, intelligent but not academic, and emotionally sharp without ever losing their sense of wonder.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Four Way Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":67777955430551,"sku":"9781961897922","price":1265.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781961897922.webp?v=1790683008","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/unbalancing-act-9781961897922","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
