She imagines the muse of a fifteenth-century painter attending a phenomenology conference in Italy. She constructs verbal photographs of a series of mysterious towns, and takes us on a pilgrimage in pursuit of the elusive and intimate anthropology of water. Blending the rhythm and vivid metaphor of poetry with the discursive nature of the essay, the writings in \u003cb\u003ePlainwater\u003c\/b\u003e dazzle us with their invention and enlighten us with their erudition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DetailsLayoutRightParagraph__widthConstrained\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Formatted\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DetailsLayoutRightParagraph__widthConstrained\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Formatted\"\u003epages 260\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/main\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books Hut","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67691439522091,"sku":null,"price":1500.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3077\/0475\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_6a90c55e-7d0b-46a5-941f-ba2f055476d0.jpg?v=1791462179","url":"https:\/\/bookshut.online\/products\/plainwater-essays-and-poetry-anne-carson","provider":"Books Hut","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
