{"product_id":"9780985100704","title":"Rules of the House","description":"Dhompa's potent suite of poems elucidates and vocalizes the humanness and adversities of the Tibetan diaspora. The praxes of exile and passage--literal and as in \"rites of...\"--are enacted here, soothing complex dynamics of family and \"house.\" The moveable hearth is a map of rare ritual and unique, curious attentions. You enter the immigrant girl-child's bifurcated world, coming and going, language to language, culture to culture, from childhood to sexuality, taking Dhompa's ride in her elegantly adopted American-English poet's \"tongue.\" A lovely explication of \"dharma\"--things as they are and how precious they are no special pleading-- as interestingly fractured, cross-genred narrative poetry. Full of song.--Anne Waldman","brand":"Apogee Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47127607869680,"sku":"9780985100704","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780985100704_p0.jpg?v=1763890089","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780985100704","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
