In the face of hard borders these poems seek a reckoning with the structures, in society, in language itself, by which these limits act on us.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Sharif examines what it means to exist in the nowhere of the arrivals terminal; to navigate a continual series of checkpoints, officers, searches, and questionings that can become a relentless challenge; a mutating shibboleth.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Through the poet's adept balancing of tonal and formal elements, these poems interrogate the 'customs' of the nation-state, of the English language, of the paces these systems put us through. But this work is not enjoined to a hopeless quest. Instead, the propulsive force that informs each line, each white space, and punctuation mark, is a powerfully galvanizing and healing force.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eCustoms\u003c\/i\u003e reminds us of the generative possibilities of restlessness, of seeking in each poem to refresh what it is a poem can be and do.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Libreria Fiore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54040732500314,"sku":null,"price":15.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7382\/1274\/files\/15060463482731.jpg?v=1776788432","url":"https:\/\/libreriafiore.it\/products\/customs","provider":"Libreria Fiore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
