{"product_id":"village-of-knives-9781949065060","title":"Village of Knives","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Train-sounds, dew-sounds, sounds from the hair, prayerful sounds and python sounds, fish market then mooncake sounds, sounds of falling into water, sounds of rising from fire-these are the sounds of \u003cem\u003eVillage of Knives\u003c\/em\u003e, a collection that speaks through how much, how closely and imaginatively it listens. The poems here listen to immigrant life and dream, to gendered expectation and subversion, to desire, to the body's surging, briny rhythms. This is a poet who understands the power of paring away the noise to zero in on the music: 'How we turned off all the lights in the house \/ \u0026amp; fell to our knees \/ just to hear the sound of bone.'\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Chen Chen, author of \u003cem\u003eWhen I Grow Up I Want to be a List of Further Possibilities\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Fierce and full of teeth, these poems are living creatures that will eat you alive. Helli Fang crafts each surprising image with care and incisiveness, pr obing the past and its living lineage of violence, migration, and love. \u003cem\u003eVillage of Knives\u003c\/em\u003e is razor-sharp and lyrical, full of language that is both divine and bodily, grief-ridden and ecstatic. These poems give us a new and necessary vocabulary for displacement, diasporic desire, and daughterhood. Fang reminds us that language is a weapon and a refuge, a site of resistance and memory and regeneration. Her words reach for the light beyond loss.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-K-Ming Chang, author of \u003cem\u003ePast Lives, Future Bodies\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-13265568\"\u003eHelli Fang\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Driftwood Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 38\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.08d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781949065060\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1949065065\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POE\"\u003ePoetry\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POE005010\"\u003eAmerican | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Driftwood Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44562583552237,"sku":"9781949065060","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_c25db3c3-cc85-4fde-87f4-d3d9dd6ca513.jpg?v=1701833506","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/village-of-knives-9781949065060","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
