In these haunting, urgent poems, Whitney Koo interrogates the notion that death is a singular event. Here, grief is illuminated as a living thing, sometimes violent, sometimes hungry, sometimes a \" long \/ drawn sucker punch.\" Through striking, vivid language, Koo reinvents the elegy as something past, present, future-- and we are both witness and mourner.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67392611516461,"sku":"WHS-bcc2234483f041e7bb0ede917a5cf451","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_003208c6-1c6b-4a24-9336-593a7e611e7e.jpg?v=1787365575","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/any-gesture","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
