I wrote it by following the golden thread of poetry and the echoes of psychoanalysis, letting the images lead rather than the plot.\" \u003cem\u003eLithium\u003c\/em\u003e employs an especially potent, poetic language to convey love found and love lost (\u003cem\u003eI'm waiting for news from you\u003c\/em\u003e). It is a book blazing with bruised perceptions of the precarity of a life lived between jobs and between homes; it's a feverish work swinging from hope to despair, about trying drugs both prescribed and not, about migration, about cat-sitting, and about isolation, about the search for meaning and for happiness when both prove so elusive, and it is about summoning the strength to wrench oneself from indecision to action.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67390904172589,"sku":"19365","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_dbfc15a8-87fb-48c7-b9a0-80c9f67220de.jpg?v=1787349019","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/lithium","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
