Drawing inspiration from the \u003ci\u003ePetavatthu\u003c\/i\u003e verses of the Buddhist tradition, \u003ci\u003eHungry Ghosts\u003c\/i\u003e is a thrilling evocation of the disturbing visions and the yearnings for a world beyond that have fed both ancient and modern understandings of the afterlife.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTaking as their starting points the simplest of media—respectively the brief epigraphic verse and the photographic negative—Tinti and Ballen have produced something truly extraordinary: a masterfully crafted series of poems in dialogue with a stunning array of phantasmagoric images. Tinti’s verse has become renowned for its combination of rigorous sparseness on the level of diction with imagery of an extraordinary power and resonance. These qualities are once again much in evidence in \u003ci\u003eHungry Ghosts\u003c\/i\u003e, but Tinti’s response to Ballen’s brilliant and disquieting works has also led him to explore an entirely new terrain: the uncanny borderlands between life and death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55105317306742,"sku":"9781916809741","price":42.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_31963105.jpg?v=1735839081","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781916809741-hungry-ghosts","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
