{"product_id":"homunculus-luke-palmer-9781915760609","title":"Homunculus","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the sequence of poems that forms the spine of this debut collection, Luke Palmer casts 16th Century alchemist Paracelsus as an eccentric single father, giving voice to his Homunculus; a preformationist child and the secret to eternal life. By turns playful and profane, the arcane bleeds into the everyday, untethered from history - a walk in the woods is an encounter with an angry god, a potty training accident becomes a metaphysical exploration. Elsewhere, Palmer addresses masculinities from both sides of the 'father tug', roving between the concrete and ephemeral, asking questions of language, the wants of an aging body, and what it means to live forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Luke Palmer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1915760607\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781915760609\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Broken Sleep Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 78\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.19d","brand":"Luke Palmer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44634772635903,"sku":"9781915760609","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6c4b9fa6-1d8f-401b-ba57-10bf88b39b4d.jpg?v=1703590832","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/homunculus-luke-palmer-9781915760609","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
