Survival becomes art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book navigates between the story of a woman who believes herself to have been an unwanted birth, \"a thing of despair\"; the confusion of family relationships; a father's suicide; and questions from a therapist. As the speaker confronts her own past, spiritual ambivalence and childhood scenes weave together in a dark pastiche.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA series of oil paintings reveal the story in an oblique way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKaren Rigby, Foreword Reviews\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 16, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53212366930227,"sku":"9781942661849","price":44.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/B3LP2v3UB39781942661849.webp?v=1775791102","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-migratory-moment-everything-anything-nothing-at-all-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
