{"product_id":"all-through-your-multiple-selves-blake-edward-hamilton-9781950380718","title":"All Through Your Multiple Selves","description":"\u003cp\u003eAll Through Your Multiple Selves by Blake Hamilton is made of haunting poems that are in dialogue with themselves on the virtues of chaos and order, and the disorienting, erotic, lonely, and yearning patterns they make when they come together in the same body, through multiple selves. The narrator, or narrators, experience hauntings, vanishings, silence, ecstasy, music, need, grief, and a sense that he is reliving his own prismatic life forwards and backwards, that time is both stretched to infinity and also collapsing into this moment. In elegant lyrics, Hamilton never evades the hunger or dread of intimacy and vulnerability, and his language nimbly casts us about through fluid and shifting stages of knowledge, \"charging forward, \/ a body-ocean \/\/ burning off \/ old ambitions.\" The quest to know and be known, \"My mouth is full of your sleep. \/ In the roots of my teeth are my indecisions,\" animates this collection, though so many encounters leave his narrator(s) rocking between moments of generosity and states of alienation. This is a poet attuned to the possibilities of reincarnation, that all we have is this moment, and to keep opening to it, despite the wounds and scars, is an invitation we were born to, because \"everything is exposed \/ everything has a name.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e신 선 영Sun Yung Shin is a poet, writer, and healer.
