Through scenes including intimate encounters with dye, fabric, and garments, Creely reveals the sexual and racial grammars of empire. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eInventorys\u003c\/i\u003e takes as its point of departure the voyage, shipwreck, and eventual excavation of the Spanish trade vessel El Nuevo Constante. Animated by the image of sixty thousand pounds of dye bleeding into the Gulf of Mexico, this six-part poetic documentation follows the wreckage of the Constante linguistically, moving among early modern lexicography, and ultimately toward enmeshed histories of catalog, fabrication, and revision. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eInventorys\u003c\/i\u003e is the winner of the 2022 Omnidawn Poetry Open Book Contest, selected by Shane McCrae.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sam Creely\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1632431637\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781632431639\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Omnidawn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Sam Creely","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46420514865407,"sku":"9781632431639","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d1454c29-d9dd-46e8-8d60-5fae6e76a691.jpg?v=1734634857","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/inventorys-sam-creely-9781632431639","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
