It is a sensorium of beeswax, turpentine, blood, yeast, coconut oil, melted buttercream, Crisco-rubbed into surfaces and crevices of memory, printing presses, diner tabletops, bathroom stalls, births, seductions, lovers. \u003ci\u003eSticky\u003c\/i\u003e coaxes one and all to ferment, to open every which way, to give over to the exploration and cravings of Carter Steinmann's \"dirty fingers\" and capable poetics.\u003cbr\u003e-Rebekah Edwards \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCarter Steinmann's poetry doesn't shy away from love's messy and dangerous moments-rather, these poems \"ask first \/ then show no mercy.\" Their dirty, sticky hands explore the body, breathing its \"fermenting sourdough,\" \"bergamot and sawdust,\" then dare \"ask for more.\" Like a fresh wound-sensitive and seeping, tender and exposed-Steinmann's syntax is hot to the touch and raw. These poems understand desire's spellwork, and refuse to doll-up pleasure; rather, with unabashed candor and an unblinking eye, without fear or apology, we see the carnal as it is. These poems ache. They \"drive home too drunk.\" They \"fuck a Vandercook.\" They stick a dirty finger in your mouth. And it is delicious.\u003cbr\u003e-Flower Conroy \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSticky\u003c\/i\u003e is both tart and sweet, feminine and masculine, gentle and rough. Steinmann writes, \"Women who turn me on \/ and simultaneously make my heart hurt \/ where do you come from \/ how do you do what you do?\" This collection of poems demonstrates the act of loving and desiring women. \u003ci\u003eSticky\u003c\/i\u003e will leave your heart throbbing and craving more.\u003cbr\u003e -Carina Yun\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.07 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 04, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42737262133311,"sku":"9780692585931","price":16.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/5cc86bd995fb98be2f66bd418b33271d.webp?v=1765149351","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/sticky-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
