In \u003cem\u003eThe Flayed City\u003c\/em\u003e, he offers an intimate look into the lives of city dwellers and immigrants in a collection of charged poems that sweep together an archipelago song scored by memory and landscape, history and mythology, desire and loss. Driven by what is residual--displacement, family, violent yet delicate masculinity, undervalued yet imperative work--Alluri's lines quiver with the poet's distinctive rendering of praise and lament steeped with gravity and blood where the smell of ants being born surrounds us and city lights form constellations \/\/ invented to symbolize war. \u003cem\u003eThe Flayed City\u003c\/em\u003e offers a powerful glimpse into a secondary world whose cities, cultural histories and trajectories are hybrids or immigrated versions of this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSan Diego-based poet and teacher \u003cstrong\u003eHari Alluri\u003c\/strong\u003e is the cofounder of Locked Horn Press.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 88\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 7.9 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 28, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42165555855495,"sku":"9781885030474","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/b4646d5fde1587242c049c8aaa24be97.webp?v=1733314475","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-flayed-city-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
