{"product_id":"the-repoetic-benjamin-dugdale-9781774220733","title":"The Repoetic: After Saint-Pol-Roux","description":"\u003cp\u003eA whorling pseudotranslation of French Symbolist Saint-Pol-Roux's \u003ci\u003eLa Repoetique\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Repoetic: After Saint-Pol-Roux\u003c\/i\u003e is a herniating long-poem, a w(h)orld built by and for the word. Unconventional and otherwise inconceivable relationships thrive in this unreal space, where hot tub (s)cum, The Tinder-Poem, comes to life to date a mercurial living-meme, the Chose-Coke Poser: sometimes Goblin, sometimes aristocratic variant of the Femboy Hooters meme. The whorld at once a food-tray fastness, a clotted pocket mirror propping open a mouth, and a bloody buffet for twenty befanged criminals seeking refuge from the law. Whorld as ever-unrolling unraveling rug; as yawnsense; as slimey timey oneness; as aerated English, Nu-Cue-Ler Alberta English, used-to-be-the-bottom-of-an-Ocean English, as the trembling timbre of the Tinder-Poem's voice asking \"does your English always fight like this, or just at the holidays?\" \u003ci\u003eThe Repoetic\u003c\/i\u003e is the realm of the loser, the cruiser, and the havering grief that an immortal Mother asks of us. Sieve for the unreal, forgotten, and trampled; for Lady Di and Dido and Bart Simpson's unending boyhood. The cerebral, no-chill, scab-picking, contours flush to contours queertopia, the nemesis to cartopia, straight-time and straight-rhyme alike. The Res Poetica a long-overdue middle-finger to Plato's no-poet Res Publica. And though no panacea nor samizdat, \u003ci\u003eThe Repoetic\u003c\/i\u003e's an annihilating solvent; the joke-rupt-by-hiccup haghounding its way into existence twixt split sycamore Pocky sticks; the stretched elastic embouchure of the things we wish we could say yet can't couch-twirl thru the threshold. \u003ci\u003eThe Repoetic\u003c\/i\u003e a singu(hi)larity, the Poem a noise the Poem annoys.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benjamin Dugdale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1774220733\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781774220733\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gordon Hill Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 82\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.25d","brand":"Benjamin Dugdale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075753472255,"sku":"9781774220733","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cf725d9a-dfae-4441-98a2-ef33b5dd7ad2.jpg?v=1685461239","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-repoetic-benjamin-dugdale-9781774220733","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
