Rather than the vertiginously violent poetics of the latter, \u003ci\u003eTree Spirits Grass Spirits\u003c\/i\u003e serves as what we might call a phyto-autobiography: a recounting of one's life through the logic of flora. Ito's graciously potent and philosophical prose examines immigration, language, gender, care work and death, all through her close (indeed, at times obsessive) attention to plant life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46836315422878,"sku":"ADS-9781643621920","price":34.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781643621920.jpg?v=1778737755","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781643621920","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
