Divided into three sections, Evan Wang's debut chapbook traces the confrontation of the self through a cyclical journey of discovery and contradiction, ultimately leading to the choice of allowance: that which is made by the reader. These poems slowly burn first through our own inner silence, then through the thick dark of night, and finally to abstract closure--or lack thereof. They urge and hold us back, begging us to understand how, amid cultural, societal, and political suppression of the self, we kiss the muscled mouths of the world by carrying our bodies through it. \u003ci\u003eSlow Burn\u003c\/i\u003e is a romantic's answer to the search for love, and the strangely comforting realization that the effects of the world mark us all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Evan Wang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Drinking Gourd Chapbook Poetry Prize\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 56\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.80h x 4.90w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810149878","brand":"Northwestern University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45486841921673,"sku":"9780810149878","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_30168077-5b55-4ff6-a4b0-ecdf29e7fdbb.jpg?v=1775543868","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/slow-burn-poems-9780810149878","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
