It invites us to engage in conversations with others, both living and deceased, offering glimpses of encounters and reflections. The landscapes in the book transform into landskips, blending traditions of travel and nature writing with a childlike spontaneity and movement across gaps. Dante's Divine Comedy serves as a framework for untimely deaths and breakthroughs of joy, particularly during the pandemic and in queer and far-flung communities. The book's title draws inspiration from the stones of the ruined Norman castle in Launceston, Cornwall, and the local martyr, St Cuthbert Mayne, where Capildeo served as a writer-in-residence with the Charles Causley Trust.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 124g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 215 x 134 x 9 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781800174252\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anthony Vahni Capildeo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46481032642810,"sku":"9781800174252","price":9.27,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1722120690867_book.jpg?v=1722231943","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/polkadot-wounds-9781800174252","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
