{"product_id":"9780991074242","title":"What The Bird Tattoo Hides","description":"In a new, compelling poetry collection, What the Bird Tattoo Hides, Bohm arrives in rural India in 1968, \"seeking truth's taste.\" His stories about many of its personalities, including outsiders and their hidden histories, reveal the daily lives of haughty Sundara, labor leader Dev Raj, Meeda Mama, and Dada who likes \"a few rums \/ before supper,\" as they work, argue, celebrate, and raise their children, struggling to better their lives and sometimes taking up arms to fight for caste and class justice. Bohm's work challenges the West's falsely exotic and colonial view of India. As he chronicles three generations in a single village, the author evokes a world that is both more haphazard and violent, and also more human and present, than one would otherwise have been able to imagine. Using sensuous, gritty, and stunning language, he confronts the nature of death and change, realizing that \"Wherever the body is, and no matter \/ how unknown the locale, \/ it is home.\" 9780991074242 0991074246 0 BOOK Poetry NOT_MATURE http:\/\/books.google.com\/books\/content?id=-_mSoAEACAAJ\u0026amp;printsec=frontcover\u0026amp;img=1\u0026amp;zoom=5\u0026amp;source=gbs_api en\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eRobert Bohm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eWest End Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eAug 30, 2014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e156 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e0991074246\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9780991074242\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"West End Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48797743284529,"sku":"9780991074242","price":18.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9780991074242.jpg?v=1740772303","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9780991074242","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
