{"product_id":"to-your-scattered-bodies-go-brian-brett-9781550968897","title":"To Your Scattered Bodies Go","description":"Born to be an outsider because of a rare genetic disorder, Kallmann syndrome, Brian Brett lived an androgynous childhood of abuse and sexual harassment. In his teen years he slid into the waterfall of poetry, becoming an auto-didactic polymath, writing--as he says--\"sideways\" to the academic poetry of his times. Though raised into manhood in the back of a bootlegger's truck, Brett, as the hometown outsider, took on the outside world, delving into ancient alchemical mysteries, the \u003ci\u003epo tes maudit\u003c\/i\u003e of Jean-Arthur Rimbaud's days, the rhythms of various tribal cultures, the talking blues, the rhapsodic illuminations of jazz, all the while gathering field notes from nights around camp fires. \u003ci\u003eTo Your Scattered Bodies Go\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of poems written over the past twenty years, a collection that speaks with a child's open directness, in fierce ironies, a sometimes bent logic, a justifiable fear of his body, of loves won and lost, and the hallelujahs of a man standing on the lip of the grave. Brett has a unique spirit, a unique musical voice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brian Brett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1550968890\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781550968897\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Exile Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 139\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 4.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Brian Brett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995908440319,"sku":"9781550968897","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7742d900-8b4b-41cd-8913-db91d2f2d8f5.jpg?v=1683338572","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/to-your-scattered-bodies-go-brian-brett-9781550968897","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
