It immerses the reader in residues, resonances, and echoes. A roving, dispersed consciousness haunts relational spaces. The pronouns infuse and inhabit one another: 'i'm counting on your lips.' A sound-map of changing bodies, it holds true in your mouth.\"—Eric Baus\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eAbout cruel Love I always complain\u003c\/em\u003e—goes a fragment of Troubadour lyric. While reading erica lewis's MURMUR I was thinking of this tradition of singing about the absent and disappointing other or lover or version of oneself that can't\/won't show up.... In this vicinity lewis registers a problem of listening, but no one can hear it, while directives, proclamations, lies and one-sided conversation rain down. Because 'the way it echoes you \/ is to echo you' in this 'cage of fire things' there is no way out except 'to speak to where the echo is \/ we take the shape of the thing that moves us'—we follow that shape as it moves through this writing, and are moved.\"—Susan Gevirtz\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shearsman Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47032772133104,"sku":"9781848612389","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781848612389_p0.jpg?v=1763750324","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781848612389","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
