These poems are fractured little diaries seeking a wholeness; they track the ways we move back and forth between larger social-political selves and inner-personal selves. The news here is professed through protests, graffiti, broken mirrors, ambient radio, synchronized fires, and all-night newsfeeds--all of it projecting a cryptic and indefinable set of rules that churn about as permutations of some lost algorithm. They address a tamed violence held barely in check, examining masculinity and fatherhood and the undercurrents of suburban domesticity. In the end, they are a barrage of cries at breaking the boundary between you and I, questions rising into prayers that ask, are we closed or open systems? Can we really know each other at all?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bill Neumire\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1956692142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781956692143\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Unsolicited Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/10\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.31d","brand":"Bill Neumire","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44055825875199,"sku":"9781956692143","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5da8d5cc-015b-4002-9b49-5f5c94fa9dcb.jpg?v=1685038007","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thenewcrusades-bill-neumire-9781956692143","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
