C.S. Giscombe writes, \"The first line of Roxi Power's incredible burst of poems lays down the law with one hand and sets things in motion with another-that is, she writes, as if to remark on the coming noise made by fire, death, love, 'A roll of presence infiltrated by scratch and origin.'\" Power's elegies and ecopoems reconstruct new linguistic meeting grounds for ancestors, where impermanence elicits both grief and joy. Through call and response improvisations, Power invokes Miles Davis' \"Saeta,\" Patti Smith's \"strange music,\" and the impossibility of Cage's silence, as counterbalances to forgetting: \"frottage rubbed back into likeness enough to help us see what is no longer there.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 106\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 18, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42727215267903,"sku":"9798888383308","price":39.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/c90b48b3562cb8e9787777524d911de9.webp?v=1765113980","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/the-songs-that-objects-would-sing-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
