Grounded in his childhood in Bangladesh, Ahmed’s spare, evocative poems cast a knowing eye on the wider world, telling us what it’s like to be displaced and replaced, relocated and dislocated. His poems are suffused with a graceful, mysterious pathos—and also with joy, humor, and longing—with the full range of human emotions. \u003ci\u003eCity of Rivers\u003c\/i\u003e is a remarkable and precocious debut.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McSweeney's Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039740346608,"sku":"9781938073021","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781938073021_p0.jpg?v=1772806131","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781938073021","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
