{"product_id":"country-at-my-shoulder-book-moniza-alvi-9780192831255","title":"The Country at My Shoulder","description":"This is Moniza Alvi's first full-length poetry collection, and includes a number of poems which won the 1991 Poetry Business Competition. At the heart of the collection is a group of poems called Presents from Pakistan, which explores the gathering significance to the poet of her birthplace. Many people today have a country at their shoulder--a homeland left behind, or a birthplace seldom, perhaps never, visited, but nevertheless a vital part of their imaginary and real lives. Highlighting the uneasy as well as the celebratory, these poems are diverse in both subject and approach. They are written with a light touch, but they are rich in imagery, and the poet's voice, though delicate, is distinct and memorable.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49562110329105,"sku":"GOR001590978","price":65.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0192831259.jpg?v=1751290260","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/country-at-my-shoulder-book-moniza-alvi-9780192831255","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
