While shepherding her beloved grandmother through hospice at home, Polonyi wanders into slippery and informative familial-folkloric reveriescapes, gathering cartographic knowledge from her grandmother's body, name, language, personal possessions, and stories. In a \"fever of the figurative\" she desperately records the residues of her grandmother's waning memories while condemning violent political conditions, interrogating intergenerational psychoemotional curses, and contemplating ethics of witnessing. What do we give each other? How do we metabolize what we inherit for healing?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Post-Volcanic Folk Tales, Polonyi's world-breaking-and-building propels dreamlike peregrinations, tender questions, vulnerable unsnarlings, and spectral cycle-stopping communions. Devoted yet vitally disobedient, she sings, archives, grieves, names her rage, and remedies \"across endless loss and regeneration.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781636141961\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e en\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mackenzie Polonyi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53801805840691,"sku":"9781636141961","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/14581313482770.jpg?v=1785981228","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/post-volcanic-folk-tales","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
