Tracing the lineage of Yoko Ono's \u003ci\u003eGrapefruit\u003c\/i\u003e and Raymond Queneau's \u003ci\u003eExercises in Style\u003c\/i\u003e, Lucy Ives here offers encouragement, candor and a deep appreciation for the vagaries, wonders and challenges of writing life. These prompts--in alchemical combinations with drawings by Nick Mauss--offer ways to become a (better) writer through observation, reorientation, inquiry, play and engagement with the world and its inhabitants. They invite the writer to learn and unlearn, to mine memory and forgetting, to enter impossible spaces and create new ways of telling time, to inhabit multiple, other and conflicting perspectives, to discover the elasticity of language and its constraints, to write by drawing, walking, listening and by being distracted.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45118189240343,"sku":"9781938221378","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/files\/9781938221378_p0_v1_s1200x1200.jpg?v=1778196676","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/ives-lucy-three-six-hb","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
