My hands itched for the physical touch of it (even if repulsion) ... it's a dance, drawing the reader into these beautiful and sometimes complicated steps. I had to look up words and then sat back and let it all bounce around inside my skull.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Laura Davis \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn\u003cem\u003e Misuse, \u003c\/em\u003e Julia Rose Lewis creates a wonderful word world where the reader lives between green and grey, between muses and mouses. In this place where yarn, trees and physics intertwine, naming - of colours, of abstracts, of things - is enacted in a way that is both craftily complex and beautifully beguiling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Ailsa Holland\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eA quantum meditation that turns personal mythologies into scientific invocations; a visionary field report merging telescopic with microscopic in the impulse to discover what has been felt, and in touching that feeling, what might be created and re-created in the experience. This is uniquely uncompromising, original, and experimental writing brought into the invisible realities of the world and its intimacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJulia Rose Lewis dissects and conjures language in ways that reveal poetry to itself; a form for the formless forming... how physics and magic swap tricks in the atomic play of meaning. All is chiasmic, alive and honestly unresolved. Poetics becomes a chemistry of embodiment, not a terrain of representation but a flashing of colour that initiates perceptive and sensory communion - and with what? Alongside whales, snails, minerals, dandelions, bears and seaweed, the poems usher attention into its own funhouse mirror: watching the entanglements of perception and sensation as they come into being; they find and lose themselves in the making, just as how we, as readers, find and lose ourselves in the reading. This is above all extraordinary and important writing: brave, bizarre, and deeply committed to its own inventive taxonomy of experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReading Misuse is like uncovering a diary that has been written, and rewritten, by the chemical trace and volatile motion of living. Something that we are all a part of and yet rarely have the privilege of seeing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDavid Spittle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julia Rose Lewis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1916590055\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781916590052\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knives Forks and Spoons\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/07\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.28d","brand":"Julia Rose Lewis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45898417930495,"sku":"9781916590052","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b737ba82-e036-461c-93bd-188fd70e77f7.jpg?v=1721376267","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/misuse-julia-rose-lewis-9781916590052","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
