{"product_id":"queer-poems-adriano-bulla-9781503241473","title":"Queer Poems","description":"The desperate search for rhythm and rhyme in these Queer Poems, through intense imagery, assonance, alliteration, lines that match in rhyme yet not in rhythm, broken lines, quirky grammar that seems to have no resolution reflects the experience of frustration of all the pariahs of a society that still promotes prejudice, discrimination and injustice yet calls itself 'civilised'. \u003cp\u003e These poems are a cry for the right to be really equal on behalf of all the downtrodden, all those who suffer from injustice, be they the homeless, the poor, those women whose marriage ends up being the prison of domestic violence, the LGBT community and more, and follows the path explored by Eliot's 'Preludes' in translating frustration and the quest for freedom and respect of far too many people into the search for form and structure in poems that seem to have a glimpse of form, but do they really have it? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eShadow Whisper\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Behind the bleeding veils of coarse \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Corrosive cords of linen stiffened \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In the breath that freezes stars \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e And chokes the Moon in solitary \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Nights, the blighted cries of voices \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Moist with poisoned spells \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Of Hell \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Are drawn on charcoaled canvas cut \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e And torn by time \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e When echoes shadow sparks \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In embers stifled under scars \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Like drops of thoughts that thaw in thick \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Black holes devouring dry, deserted \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Worlds with wanton words and woes - \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e And stares - \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Behind the curtains no one cares. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adriano Bulla\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1503241475\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781503241473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/11\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.00w x 0.15d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Adriano Bulla","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44790303654143,"sku":"9781503241473","price":5.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_255d2acf-78ee-4431-92e4-672166638f16.jpg?v=1707288544","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/queer-poems-adriano-bulla-9781503241473","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
