In the long poem \u003ci\u003emeditations\u003c\/i\u003e Barry examines her own guilt in initially supporting the invasion of Iraq. Throughout the manuscript she investigates war and its aftermath by negotiating between geographically disparate landscapes - from the genocide in the Congo - to a series of prose poem snapshots of modern day Vietnam. Despite the gravity of war, Barry also turns her signature lyricism to other topics such as the beauty of Peru or the paintings of Ana Fernandez.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"University of Pittsburgh Press","offers":[{"title":"Water Puppets | Quan Barry | Paperback | 9780822961604 | New | Poetry 1695099","offer_id":49229066141848,"sku":"1695099","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71OtkXpOKiL.jpg?v=1781197764","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/water-puppets","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
