Birds appear throughout these pages, not simply as subjects but as symbols and messengers, witnesses to war, extinction and exile. Mythic birds from the Ramayana fly alongside city pigeons and wild peacocks, forming a living archive of flight and disappearance. Here, love and desire emerge not as consolation, but as a form of radical presence – one of the last ways we remain tethered to the world. With lyric clarity and a gaze both wide and precise, \u003cem\u003eEgrets, While War\u003c\/em\u003e becomes a meditation on survival – of species, of history, of the heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTishani Doshi's previous collection, \u003cem\u003eA God at the Door\u003c\/em\u003e, was shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best Collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloodaxe Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56550912229720,"sku":"9781780377896","price":18.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781780377896.jpg?v=1779430561","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/egrets-while-war","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
