From the vibrant color of a blade of grass, to their dog sleeping quietly in the corner, to delicate petals fallen from a rose, a mindfulness of the beauty in their surroundings helped offset the feelings of fear, outrage, and helplessness. The result of this exercise is a profoundly moving poetry collection that explores Mehta's South Asian and Appalachian culture, their Queerness, their relationships with self and others, race, privilege, and a deep admiration of nature and the spiritual realm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith the ear of a poet and a novelist's understanding of narrative motion, Mehta draws in the reader through humor, tenderness, and complexity. This debut poetry collection from the Lambda Literary Award-winning writer is a magnificent celebration of our own ordinary yet miraculous daily lives—an acknowledgment of the \"messy beauty... ugly beauty\" in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The University Press of Kentucky","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48992412369131,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":40.19,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780813198804-1.jpg?v=1785758795","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9780813198804","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
