{"product_id":"9781632432261","title":"The Gathering - Sherah Bloor","description":"Poetry that serves as a broad collection of historical incidents and considers how we weigh and value events. Named for a sura of the Quran, The Gathering is an epic in cantos that indiscriminately records deeds and events that have taken place on this earth. 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.","brand":"Sherah Bloor","offers":[{"title":"96 pages \/ 06\/10\/2026 \/ Religion \u0026 beliefs","offer_id":57491704938871,"sku":"9781632432261","price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781632432261","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
