Called \"an antidote to despair\" (Muriel Leung, \u003ci\u003eImagine Us\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Swarm\u003c\/i\u003e) and poetry that \"complicates notions of solidarity, community and justice, distilling the quotidian into something sacred\" (Rachelle Cruz, \u003ci\u003eGod's Will For Monsters\u003c\/i\u003e), \u003ci\u003eI ask about what falls away\u003c\/i\u003e serves as an intimate grief manifesto against the daily violations of racial capitalism. Perez, the 2023-2024 San Diego Poet Laureate, employs a critical and improvisatory assemblage of lyric and litany, narrative and distillation, fragment and refrain to map city, solidarity and history. At once playful and tenacious, \u003ci\u003eI ask about what falls away\u003c\/i\u003e pays careful witness to working-class uncles, aunties, cousins and youth in rhythm with the anti-colonial wisdom of writers such as Neferti X. M. Tadiar and Aimé Césaire, remixing sorrow with a deep love and knowledge for everyday people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 124\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 7.9 x 5.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 12, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47581087596765,"sku":"9781885030894","price":21.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/CcT5dGwShf9781885030894.webp?v=1773555699","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/i-ask-about-what-falls-away-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
