{"product_id":"regulator-benjamin-dodds-9781922186478","title":"Regulator","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Dodds examines the real Australia where the small, flat human incident might disappear in such monstrous immensity, where aliens might choose to pass by-a naturally surreal world. This is a place to band together or be sucked into nightmare and float out into awful space, a place where only the intimacy of human contact keeps us grounded. This is poetry that reads like a novel, the characters alive and waving to us from the page.\" -Rhyll McMaster\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The poems in \u003cem\u003eRegulator \u003c\/em\u003ereveal an observant eye and an acute ear; the language is evocative, precise and sensuous. There are poems of the natural world, bristling with death and transformation, and of the everyday\/dangerous laboratory. In Benjamin Dodds's childhood Australia, the Virgin Mary, painted in All Weather Exterior blue, fades in the Riverina sun; 'dangerously adolescent men\/in wet sucking board-shorts' bomb into the irrigation canal; a sweat-stained rural Santa hands out packs of Twisties. Under the surface, the insistent pulse of sexuality, an undertow of dread, a glint of subtle menace.\" -Tricia Dearborn\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benjamin Dodds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1922186473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781922186478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Puncher \u0026amp; Wattmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.17d","brand":"Benjamin Dodds","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442964541695,"sku":"9781922186478","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_410009a1-9a41-441a-8e49-3a05cac62af0.jpg?v=1777200935","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/regulator-benjamin-dodds-9781922186478","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
