{"product_id":"9781643621715","title":"Hydra Medusa","description":"​A book of poetry, dreams and speculative talks, collected from the psychic detritus of living in the US-Mexico borderlands.Part coping mechanism, part magical act, Hydra Medusa was composed while Brandon Shimoda was working five jobs and raising a child—during bus commutes, before bed, at sunrise. Encountering the ghosts of Japanese American ancestors, friends, children and bodies of water, it asks: what is the desert but a site where people have died, are dying; are buried, unburied, memorialized, erased. Where they are trying, against and within the energy of it all, to contend with our inherited present—and to live.","brand":"Brandon Shimoda","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47468476596542,"sku":"9781643621715","price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/files\/9781643621715.jpg?v=1715031495","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781643621715","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
