In a lyrical voice at once new and surprisingly ancient, Adesina's \u003ci\u003eDeath Does Not End at the Sea\u003c\/i\u003e explores the complexity of elusive citizenship, an immigrant's brokenhearted prayer for a new beginning, a chorus of elegies, and a cosmic love song between the living and the dead. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Death Does Not End at the Sea | Gbenga Adesina | Paperback | 9781496244772 | New | Poetry 1707491","offer_id":50834345820418,"sku":"1707491","price":32.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/81D5TgYQgnL.jpg?v=1792635075","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/death-does-not-end-at-the-sea","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
