The poet receives gifts from a crow; associates different parts of their body with nine different species encountered in the desert; and joins a woman each morning in feeding rats in the streets of Rome, taking turns looking out for the police.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten with urgency, hope, anger and joy, the poems that result are an ode to survival in a world that humanity has poisoned, and a testament to a love that knows no by-laws.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46722397372574,"sku":"UBD-9781802065411","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781802065411.jpg?v=1776318487","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781802065411","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
