In this book, it is all happening at the same time: Covid and Black Lives Matter; praise of all sentient life, while also testifying to the damage already done; a fracture-defying inter-connectedness among loved ones, and other \"families\" (biological, chosen, messed up \u0026amp; made). Benjamin's work is a series of snapshots occurring at once, a commitment to train attention in as many different directions as possible in this particular moment. As Dickinson says in her own poem, \u003cem\u003eit's a crowded heart, but one with a beat no laws can touch\u003c\/em\u003e, ultimately asking, simply, just the best of us, or, at the very least, so much more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.34 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 04, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47439986884786,"sku":"9781956368413","price":19.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/899a6fdfeb2d441161843271c67943f9.webp?v=1778675763","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/the-mob-within-the-heart-poems-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
