Its speaker--a nearly omniscient archivist--is propelled by a force more elemental than causation to visit moments and subjects, moving swiftly through thoughts, physiologies, and environments. Under an imperative to record everything encountered--however small, cruel, or sad--the archivist must grant radically equal weight to each thing. Yet as these entries accumulate, a strange significance accrues, and the negligible seems necessary. Each mundane fragment of life finds consolation. What was, was; what happened, got to happen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45143457726487,"sku":"9781632432261","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/files\/71-E7sqUcSL.jpg?v=1781221892","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/bloor-sherah-the-gatherpb","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
