At the collection's center sits \"On the Overnight from Agadir,\" a poem that chronicles Shanahan's survival of a devastating bus accident in Morocco, his mother's birth country, and ruminates on home, belonging, and the mysteries of fate. With rich lyricism, power, and tenderness, \u003ci\u003eTrace Evidence\u003c\/i\u003e centers the racial periphery and excavates the vestiges of our violent colonial past in the most intimate aspects of our lives. In a language yoked equally to the physical and metaphysical worlds, the poet articulates the need we all share for real intimacy and connection, and proves, time and again, that the true cost of our separateness is the love that our survival requires.","brand":"Highbridge Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49355532566832,"sku":"BDh9mk","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49355532697904,"sku":"ZEh9mk","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49355532730672,"sku":"ZMh9mk","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/h9mk-cover.jpg?v=1765870673","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-h9mk","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
