The Republics(1st Edition) (Pitt Poetry Series) by NathalieHandal Paperback, 88 Pages, Published 2015 by University Of Pittsburgh Press ISBN-13: 978-0-8229-6332-5, ISBN: 0-8229-6332-9
"“The Republics is a massively brilliant new work, a leap in literature we have not seen. It’s gripping, harrowing, and at times horrific while its form paradoxically is fresh, luscious, and original. Bypassing pity and transforming pain into language Handal stars.

heaven was close. / A sparrow, blueprint, shell, oil lamp. The meaning of violet in
ink. / The borlette number we saved ..."
