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. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn such a world, how should one proceed? Throughout \u003cem\u003eSharks in the Rivers\u003c\/em\u003e, 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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 8.3 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 01, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47351096672505,"sku":"9781571314383","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/WnJTT1ZPeTFIeTNrWjNDQk1ubFFEUT09.webp?v=1769795137","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/sharks-in-the-rivers-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
