In these haunting, urgent poems, Whitney Koo interrogates the notion that death is a singular event. Here, grief is illuminated as a living thing, sometimes violent, sometimes hungry, sometimes a \" long \/ drawn sucker punch.\" Through striking, vivid language, Koo reinvents the elegy as something past, present, future-- and we are both witness and mourner.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Whitney Koo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Black Lawrence Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.3lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781625571823","brand":"Black Lawrence Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45486885208201,"sku":"9781625571823","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_c2245c93-11c4-4124-9ee6-4ce564d51806.jpg?v=1775544174","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/any-gesture-9781625571823","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
