Sounding out the nerves and nodes of language to transform \"every burn-mark and blemish,\" to \"bind our river-wrack and leavings,\" Romey seeks to forge finally (if even for a moment) a chord in which he might live. Intently visceral, aural, oral, Atsuro Riley's poems bristle with musical and imaginative pleasures, with story-telling and picture-making of a new and wholly unexpected kind. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47607253827735,"sku":"9780226719443","price":1861.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780226719443.webp?v=1775045992","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/romeys-order-9780226719443","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
