Sandra Lim's poetry displays stinging wit and a tough-minded approach to her own experiences: She speaks with Jean Rhys about beauty, encounters the dark loneliness that can exist inside a relationship, and discovers a coiled anger on a hot summer day. An extended poem sequence slyly revolves the meanings of finding oneself astray in midlife. A steely strength courses through the volume's myriad discoveries--Lim's lucidity and tenderness form a striking complement to her remarkable metaphors and the emotional clamor of her material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnimated by a sense of reckoning and a piercing inwardness, these anti-sentimental poems nevertheless celebrate the passionate and empathetic subjective life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44556778635309,"sku":"WHS-388a35aefd3e4a3b84068b04d5b1a8fa","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_5db19487-5834-4066-a803-16514c49f1b3.jpg?v=1769317412","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/curious-thing-poems","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
