She writes, \"I accept the truth in newspapers \/ by holding the murder of my friends against my chest. \/\/ To each weather forecast I give thanks: \/ \u003ci\u003emerci\u003c\/i\u003e for every outdated \/\/ dusk\/dawn.\" Agrippina the Younger, Franz Kafka, Bob Dylan, a butoh performance, an unnamed Raku tea bowl-each has a place here. Made whole by time and its alteration in timelessness, synchrony, coincidences, and accidents, \u003ci\u003eRain in Plural\u003c\/i\u003e beautifully reveals an elegiac yet ever-evolving inner life.","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39325471899748,"sku":"9780691203560","price":15.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/suomalainen-test.myshopify.com\/products\/rain-in-plural-poems","provider":"Suomalainen Test","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
