The world is always in motion and it is also full of risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn such a world, how should one proceed? Throughout Sharks in the Rivers, Limón suggests that we must cleave to the world as it 'keep[s] opening before us,' for, if we pay attention, we can be one with its complex, ephemeral, and beautiful strangeness. Loss is perpetual, and each person's mouth 'is the same \/ mouth as everyone's, all trying to say the same thing.' For Limón, it's the saying - individual and collective - that transforms each of us into 'a wound overcome by wonder,' that allows 'the wind itself' to be our 'own wild whisper'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53592944509301,"sku":"9781472159977","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9781472159977.jpg?v=1729802382","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781472159977","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
