Sounding out the nerves and nodes of language to transform \"every burn-mark and blemish,\" to \"bind our river-wrack and leavings,\" Romey seeks to forge finally (if even for a moment) a chord in which he might live. Intently visceral, aural, oral, Atsuro Riley's poems bristle with musical and imaginative pleasures, with story-telling and picture-making of a new and wholly unexpected kind. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Atsuro Riley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Phoenix Poets (Paperback)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.23h x 5.88w x 0.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226719443","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42713379766409,"sku":"9780226719443","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_3d1cc4f3-b726-417d-9959-60c89505c78e.jpg?v=1719609690","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/romeys-order-9780226719443","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
