{"product_id":"lesser-case-mark-decarteret-9781949279306","title":"lesser case","description":"\u003cp\u003eMallarmé's symbolism invoked early on, DeCarteret's poems speak of a life spent in conversation with the self and other poets. The poems weave themselves, tease out meaning the more you read them. Anagrams constantly talking back to themselves, they honor as they grieve for poets and poetry. Genius segues link these poems' motifs, hold them up to the light: from window to water, sun to flame, pen to tongue, words and wordlessness, paper crumpled, balled up like asterisks, webs to madness to mazes. They are the lack as much as the purposefully left blank. These poems will make you pay attention - to elements, ghosts and chairs - reckon with religion. The poet's trick, \"throwing one's latest voice\", tricks the poet. Marrying language with meaning. Leaving punctuation to ampersands, question marks, and slashes, the line break is the modus operandi. Not a period in sight, the poet ends \u003cem\u003elesser case\u003c\/em\u003e with itches still left to scratch. They reach the reader, who might be holy if they would make the poet whole. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e- \u003c\/em\u003eJessica Purdy, Author of\u003cem\u003e Sleep in a Strange House\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Decarteret\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1949279308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781949279306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nixes Mate Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.50h x 6.50w x 0.21d","brand":"Mark Decarteret","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996100657407,"sku":"9781949279306","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4d576974-57f7-46b5-a876-e948539f7875.jpg?v=1683339711","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lesser-case-mark-decarteret-9781949279306","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
