Sharks in the Rivers
Автор: Ada Limon
Год издания: 0000
The speaker in this extraordinary collection finds herself multiply dislocated: from her childhood in California, from her family’s roots in Mexico, from a dying parent, from her prior self. The world is always in motion — both toward and away from us—and it is also full of risk: from sharks unexpectedly lurking beneath estuarial rivers to the dangers of New York City, where, as Limón reminds us, even rats find themselves trapped by the garbage cans they’ve crawled into. In such a world, how should one proceed? Throughout Sharks in the Rivers, Limón suggests that we must cleave to the world as it “keep[s] opening before us,” for, if we pay attention, we can be one with its complex, ephemeral, and beautiful strangeness. Loss is perpetual, and each person’s mouth “is the same / mouth as everyone’s, all trying to say the same thing.” For Limón, it’s the saying—individual and collective — that transforms each of us into “a wound overcome by wonder,” that allows “the wind itself” to be our “own wild whisper.”

Год издания:
Triju knygu serija „Sustabdykit vestuves!“ Trecia knyga.
Milijardierius Gibas Martinas megsta rizika beveik taip pat, kaip ir gerai pasiutus kostiumus. Taciau net ir jis nerizikuos prarasti geriausia drauga ir verslo partneri, kuris sumane vesti. Gibui tereikia susirasti lektuva ir sustabdyti tas kvailas vestuves.
Paprastai pilote Sofija Kruz tokiam issipusciusiam miesto vyrukui pasakytu, kur jis gali keliauti su savo pasiulymu. Deja, jai labai reikia grynuju – neatsisakytu ju paimti net ir is tokio puoseivos. Viskas butu pakenciama, jei ne priverstinis nusileidimas del netiketai uzklupusios audros…
Dabar jie vieni ir pagundu isvengti neimanoma.
