To conjure the source of this text's trauma, the poet becomes a ritual detective, tracing the wound by its shadow. Meaning emerges through distortion and echo--courting what cannot be seen head-on to create a haunted grammar of grief. An ill pastoral of displacement, The pedestrian turns domestic spaces into underworlds, the body of the exiled child into a prophetic threshold--it listens as much as it speaks, attuned to forces beyond itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valerie Hsiung","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44515686842410,"sku":"9781643623115","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/0891\/6522\/files\/imageloader_5e4bc07f-cae3-4328-ba7c-020a1bce1345.jpg?v=1782695597","url":"https:\/\/thepoetryshop.com\/products\/the-pedestrian","provider":"The Poetry Shop LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
