Through linguistic dexterity and play, [these poems] exclaim heartbreak and test the limits of language in a single line.\" —Rachael Allen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn exquisite rituals of embodied and object orientated writing, Lila Matsumoto’s breath-taking new collection of poetry combines lightness of expression with a thrilling complexity of thought and emotion. There is joy and jouissance in this collection in abundance. —Colin Herd\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"In Lila Matsumoto’s poems, a hyperintense focus on things felt and seen leads not to description, but to a parallel intensity of focussed and patterned sound. From self-help muesli to grief bacon, these word-incursions of “unspeakable \/ loss + bliss” are worth a thousand pictures; alternate soundtracks for imaginary films.\" —Peter Manson\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shearsman Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47019035754736,"sku":"9781848615687","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781848615687_p0.jpg?v=1763753967","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781848615687","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
