In associative lyrics and fabulist prose, Hoks explores inner and outer experiences. The poems frequently focus on the body as a membrane where everything becomes inside-out--where the \"face disperses with angels of teeth and loam,\" where \"sky comes out of the mouth,\" where a giant green worm \"burrows a hole in the head,\" and where the heart is a vestibule that cannot be closed. Suites of pictures within the text further delineate this inward-outward pull, offering visualizations of interior voices and sketches of exterior shadows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nathan Hoks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0143123734\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143123736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.90w x 0.40d","brand":"Nathan Hoks","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46216940454143,"sku":"9780143123736","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5e014342-4531-4510-873d-1a240bbdd73a.jpg?v=1728513817","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-narrow-circle-nathan-hoks-9780143123736","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
