Here, the tongue becomes a collaboration between human and glacial current--the self, a \"tectonic topography of god.\" Grappling with questions of mortality in the wake of his mother's passing, Ali asks where we go when we leave this world: \"earth or sky or memory only.\" With musicality, these poems build a space for contemplation, offering vignettes of various individuals, memories, and geographies. We learn that in migration, the body moves, reproduces itself through the experience of losing and living still.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kazim Ali","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44515846946858,"sku":"9781556597299","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/0891\/6522\/files\/imageloader_5dea72ec-038f-4c5b-9bf0-4c29f715d3ba.jpg?v=1782704011","url":"https:\/\/thepoetryshop.com\/products\/the-man-in-119","provider":"The Poetry Shop LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
