In these visually porous poems, boundaries waver and reconfigure along the rumbling shoreline of Rockaway or during the intermediary hours that an insomniac undergoes between darkness and dawn. Through a series of self-portraits, elegies, and Eros-tinged meditations, this hovering never subsides but offers, among the fragments, momentary constellations: \"moths all swarming the \/ same light bulb.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From the difficulties of stuttering to teetering attempts at love, from struggling to order a hamburger to tracing the deckled edge of a hydrangea, these poems tumble and hum, revealing a hinge between word and world. Ultimately, among lofting waves, collapsing hands, and darkening skies, words themselves--a stutterer's maneuvers through speech, a deceased grandfather's use of punctuation--become forms of consolation. From its initial turbulence to its final surprising solace, this debut collection mesmerizes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam Giannelli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1609384865\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781609384869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Iowa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 6.00w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/27\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2017 pg. 79","brand":"Adam Giannelli","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991697719551,"sku":"9781609384869","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4b3d47f2-f78d-4387-80da-e8df7746ffc6.jpg?v=1683311710","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tremulous-hinge-adam-giannelli-9781609384869","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
