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":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40817123983383,"sku":"9780226719443","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/files\/9780226719443.jpg?v=1768089425","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/riley-atsuro-romey","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
