In associative lyrics and fabulist prose, Hoks explores inner and outer experiences. The poems frequently focus on the body as a membrane where everything becomes inside-out--where the \"face disperses with angels of teeth and loam,\" where \"sky comes out of the mouth,\" where a giant green worm \"burrows a hole in the head,\" and where the heart is a vestibule that cannot be closed. Suites of pictures within the text further delineate this inward-outward pull, offering visualizations of interior voices and sketches of exterior shadows.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45408463093911,"sku":"9780143123736","price":1873.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780143123736.webp?v=1767309951","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-narrow-circle-9780143123736","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
