{"product_id":"9781625570413","title":"summonings","description":"\u003cp\u003eIndebted to the docupoetics tradition, Raena Shirali' s summonings investigates the ongoing practice of witch (\" daayan\" ) hunting in India. Here, poems interrogate the political implications \u0026amp; shortcomings of writing Subaltern personae while acknowledging the author' s Westernized positionality. Continuing to explore multi-national and intersectional concerns around identity raised in her debut collection, Shirali asks how first- \u0026amp; second-generation immigrants reconcile the self with the lineages that shape it, wondering aloud about those lineages' relationships to misogyny \u0026amp; violence. These precarious poems explore how antiquated \u0026amp; existing norms surrounding female mysticism in India \u0026amp; America inform each culture' s treatment of women. As Jericho Brown wrote of Shirali' s poetics in GILT, her \" comment on culture, on identity, on justice is her comment on poetry.\" summonings is comment on power \u0026amp; patriarchy, on authorial privilege \u0026amp; the shifting role of witness, \u0026amp;, ultimately, on an ethical poetics, grounded in the inevitable failure to embody the Other.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black Lawrence Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45632838598735,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":628.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9781625570413","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
