This book tracks the poets' engagement with various cities around the world, across the decades, in both positive and negative ways, as well as in tangential ways, in recollection and in real time. This is poetry open to the experience of 'foreign' places, so that the foreign becomes immediate, intimate and familiar. Unexpected resonances occur, for it is also a work of addiction and recovery, of confrontation and meditation, and the understanding that if language is a virus, it is also the cure.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe City under the City\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is an urgent and necessary reading, looking over and under, excavating memory for loss and revelation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fourth Estate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48329477980410,"sku":"3YCIKZQTR80N","price":362.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/0473\/5226\/files\/3YCIKZQTR80N-1.jpg?v=1751197548","url":"https:\/\/versoz.co.in\/products\/3ycikzqtr80n","provider":"VERSOZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
