Grounded in his childhood in Bangladesh, Banu’s spare, evocative poems cast a knowing eye on the wider world, telling us what it’s like to be displaced and replaced, relocated and dislocated. His poems are suffused with a graceful, mysterious pathos?and also with joy, humor, and longing?with the full range of human emotions. \u003ci\u003eCity of Rivers\u003c\/i\u003e is a remarkable and precocious debut.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McSweeney's","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":53391591506193,"sku":"9781938073021","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/6890\/3185\/files\/cover_6831cc9e-e286-4034-b6be-96fee9f829f9.jpeg?v=1776866864","url":"https:\/\/www.stablebookgroup.com\/products\/city-of-rivers","provider":"Stable Book Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
