Think of a river constrained by levees, a bonsai clipped and bent, a human body bursting through shapewear. Begging the question, what can it mean to thrive in the world as it is, Bashir says, \"Rats thrive in sewers so \/ maybe I'm thriving.\" In these moving, sometimes harrowing meditations, Bashir reveals her vulnerable inner life, how she has built herself brick by brick into an artist.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44016017932333,"sku":"15925","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_e6a849f6-15b9-4572-a7ea-a7eeb78b7a8f.jpg?v=1767608395","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/i-hope-this-helps","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
