Though Lazer's handwritten shape-writing presents itself most obviously and initially as a visual experience - the shape of thinking itself embodied in the improvisation of each page - this book is also infused with the overlapping ways in which we both hear and are here. Beginning with Lazer's fourth trip to Havana (and two noteworthy jazz-poetry concerts with saxophonist Andrew Raffo Dewar), music itself and the music of the shape-written poetry is crucial to this book, just as is an ever-shifting investigation of how we are here: what it means to be in a specific place. Drawing on Merleau-Ponty's \u003cem\u003ePhenomenology of Perception\u003c\/em\u003e, Lazer creates immediately accessible and beautifully drawn intervals of consciousness that is a unique contribution to American poetry.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hank Lazer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0998677728\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780998677729\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Negative Capability Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.44d","brand":"Hank Lazer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48438109896959,"sku":"9780998677729","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a2348d81-22af-4ac7-9599-3b934e7a709c.jpg?v=1777168879","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/evidence-of-being-here-hank-lazer-9780998677729","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
