{"product_id":"allegretti-joel-the-body-in-equipoise-9781938812460","title":"The Body In Equipoise","description":"\"A work at once finely tuned, vast, and surprising, Joel Allegretti's The Body in Equipose is, indeed, the 'human being squaring the circle,' with its 'nervous system. . .a radio tuned to the soundtrack of life.' Or perhaps this more accurately describes Allegretti himself, who in deft and subtle strokes has created a poetics from the bones and beams of centuries of architectural history (not to mention modern art) that is somehow both erudite and enduring, light and air filled-much like its inspiration. Further evidence of the highly original, remarkable work coming out of our small presses today.\"-Lynne DeSilva-Johnson, Managing Editor, The Operating System\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\"Joel Allegretti tells us, 'I am a creature of rooms.' Each of his stanzas is cantilevered above corridors of memory. The ghosts of Mies van der Rohe, Eero Saarinen, Antoni Gaudi, and Frank Gehry create 'dwelling[s] in the shape of the shapeless.' This architect of words voices selves, with linguistic sinew, with etymological marrow. The poet avers, 'Under the wing of a great architecture \/ marble recovers its identity.' His personae chart peregrinations from the known to spires of the ineffable. With alacrity, the reader climbs each annealed line, arriving at a thrilling new language that is uniquely Allegretti's.\"\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Dean Kostos, Author of This Is Not a Skyscraper(Benjamin Saltman Poetry Award winner) and Rivering","brand":"Full Court Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53814582870358,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781938812460_1.jpg?v=1781819276","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/allegretti-joel-the-body-in-equipoise-9781938812460","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
