{"product_id":"9781611854244","title":"Freeman's Animals","description":"\u003cp\u003eOver a century ago, Rilke went to the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, where he watched a pair of flamingos. A flock of other birds screeched by, and, as he describes in a poem, the great red-pink birds sauntered on, unphased, then 'stretched amazed and singly march into the imaginary.' This encounter - so strange, so typical of flamingos with their fabulous posture - is also still typical of how we interact with animals. Even as our actions threaten their very survival, they are still symbolic, captivating and captive, caught in a drama of our framing. This issue of Freeman's tells the story of that interaction, its costs, its tendernesses, the mythological flex of it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grove Press UK","offers":[{"title":"John \/ Freeman","offer_id":44742248464698,"sku":"9781611854244","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5334\/6096\/products\/9781611854244.jpg?v=1679073536","url":"https:\/\/goldenharebooks.pro\/products\/9781611854244","provider":"Golden Hare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
