She reaches for the lush landscapes--real and recounted--of the Philippines and the American South as she traces the lineage of a body shaped by economic, ecological, and political dissonance. As one poem reminds us, \"it's so hard to write about love without writing about the country we live in.\" These thirty-eight poems, threaded together with a six-part braided sequence, bind a multigenerational conversation between grandmothers, mothers, and aunts through a range of forms, from pantoums to prose poems. With its vivid imagery and an unforgettable lyrical perspective, \u003ci\u003eMaybe the Body \u003c\/i\u003ereconsiders the natural transactions of work, intimacy, and the poem itself.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67391815680045,"sku":"WHS-6271733831ca40c2810edbb958ab5d66","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_b7694264-0f59-4a39-98c8-6c99c7403a59.jpg?v=1787357689","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/maybe-the-body-poems","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
