In “belly,” a young woman abandoned by her only living relative makes a person from the mud beside her backyard creek. In “We Feel it in Punta Cana,” a domestic child servant in the Dominican Republic tours through his own lush imagination to make his material conditions more bearable. In “The Oldest Sensation is Anger,” a teenager invites a same-aged family friend into her apartment and uncovers a spate of disturbing secrets about her. Written in a mixture of high lyricism, absurdist comedy, and Haitian cultural witticisms, this is a collection whose dynamism matches that of its characters at every beat and turn.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Red Hen Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49768406024536,"sku":"9781636282565","price":33.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781636282565.jpg?v=1765907118","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/you-were-watching-from-the-sand","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
