{"product_id":"9780889229815","title":"Human Tissue: A primer of Not Knowing","description":"\u003cbr\u003eThese poems try to get along with each other – but can’t. The series of poems titled “Parables for Frankenstein”, traces the socialization and making of a prototype misfit. “Panic Room”, is a series of poems about a loner whose isolation at a house party starts taking a sinister turn. “Unboxing the Clone” deals precisely with the simultaneous interpenetration of terms that bombard the conscious moment to reshape the life that’s being lived out – a kind of proprioceptive kaleidoscope. Alienation arises from all the failed language-registers of our technocratic society, which continue to defy our powers of decryption. What’s a monster to do?\u003cp\u003eA recurring motif throughout the book is the overarching empty universal space surrounding life’s not-knowing. If we think too hard on it – why the statistical fluke that puts us here on this ball of dirt – we’ll have a stroke. Instead, read these poems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Talonbooks, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47009257292016,"sku":"9780889229815","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780889229815_p0.jpg?v=1763866296","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780889229815","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
