{"product_id":"any-gesture","title":"Any Gesture","description":"A braided, elegiac journey through death and recovery, \u003ci\u003eAny Gesture\u003c\/i\u003e takes on loss, anticipatory grief, and the little deaths experienced in the space between mourning and survival. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The collection's four narrative threads speak to a modern, suburban Ophelia; pre-elegize a sister on the brink of suicide; reconcile miscarriage and infertility; and question the proper care for the dead in the face of escalating and dehumanized losses. In these haunting, urgent poems, Whitney Koo interrogates the notion that death is a singular event. Here, grief is illuminated as a living thing, sometimes violent, sometimes hungry, sometimes a \" long \/ drawn sucker punch.\" Through striking, vivid language, Koo reinvents the elegy as something past, present, future-- and we are both witness and mourner.","brand":"Whitney Koo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44740206297130,"sku":"9781625571823","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/0891\/6522\/files\/any-gesture-5144561.jpg?v=1787609414","url":"https:\/\/thepoetryshop.com\/products\/any-gesture","provider":"The Poetry Shop LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
