{"product_id":"the-glimmer","title":"Glimmer","description":"The Glimmer is a meditation on the time-span of life illuminated by many voices. In an artists’ colony in Mexico, a taxidermist tends animals in their after-life, contemplating what remains of us after death. Among the artists she encounters are a painter of miniatures, a war photographer, a light artist, a ghazal singer, and dancers from Tanzteater Wuppertal, as they reflect on the impulse to make work and meaning in a world where value is increasingly monetised.\n\nWithin the extended narrative are self-contained poems ranging in form from syllabics and ghazals to OULIPO-inspired anagram poems, drawing on found text and verbatim speech to bring a choir of voices to life.  The title work is followed by two elegies.\n\nThe Glimmer is Shazea Quraishi’s second full-length book of poetry, following her debut, The Art of Scratching.","brand":"Bloodaxe Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40257996882003,"sku":"","price":17.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781780376332_6ee3231a-987b-498d-96f8-b2fd0c94b444.jpg?v=1764898234","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/the-glimmer","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
