Abjection stands on its head and abduction tops from the bottom. By tops, I mean speaks, or rather interprets, where spectacle can be measured with the tongue. Smart’s entrancing hanging paragraphs create a kind of negative space of water and light-filled air and the intriguing possibilities of opening holes. A hole is a multiplicand of wishes. –Robert Glück\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOn Getting What I Want\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis for lovers who know better.

How much recognition can we really bear? These pages fuck, infect, suck, bleed, and think all at the same time. Smart gives us a queer method of hunger that knows the irrelevance of satiation. Read it like a textbook. –Rosie Stockton\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45774437974039,"sku":"9781928650492","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/files\/1791569236-900.jpg?v=1792268508","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/smart-willa-on-gettingpb","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
