In Ulrike Almut Sandig’s latest volume of poetry, it is only a leap from the creation of the world to the symphony of the Berlin metropolis. And there is a question holding out off the coast of Lampedusa: Can shining sheep be used as night storage for the dark hours, when we are overwhelmed with fears of God, of a gym teacher with a whistle, of mothers with eyes as black as coal? In devastating sequences, Sandig charts the reality of an abused child, victims of contemporary war, or a fourteenth-century Madonna. Full of humor, musicality, lightness, and rage,\u003ci\u003e Shining Sheep\u003c\/i\u003e is not just visual poetry—it has loops in your ear and filmic explosions of imagery for all your senses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41768970453089,"sku":"9781803092522","price":16.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_28393582.jpg?v=1722584675","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781803092522-shining-sheep","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
