{"product_id":"9781905233854","title":"Ritual for a Mango","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs evidenced by a section called \"for\" in the middle of this debut pamphlet, Akila Richards is a poet in conversation with the world - a world that discriminates, a world that marginalises. The poems in that section make visible the quiet dignity of folk who rarely make the headlines. Versatile in tone, the impassioned protest of A Lived Life sits alongside the silent despair of Deliverance. Elsewhere, Akila celebrates her heritage in The Givers, eschews the cult of shame in Amoral Deity, and recasts Soyinka's A Telephone Conversation at a German border entry in A Crossing Conversation. Throughout her often experimental work, the quality of witnessing and the ability to extract beauty from the mundane is remarkable, making Ritual for a Mango both celebration and dirge, a true reflection of human existence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FLIPPED EYE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52388815012114,"sku":"9781905233854","price":10.39,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3093\/4173\/files\/9781905233854.jpg?v=1781647536","url":"https:\/\/bargainbooks.com.au\/products\/9781905233854","provider":"Bargain Books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
