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","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47084201181424,"sku":"9780226719450","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780226719450_p0.jpg?v=1763674670","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780226719450","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
