To Mossotti, the love of a bricklayer for his wife is as complex and simple as life itself: \"ask him to put into words what that sinking is, \/ that shudder in his chest, as he notices \/ the wrinkles gathering at the corners of her mouth.\" But not a whiff of sentiment enters these poems, for Mossotti has little patience for ideas of the noble or for sympathetic portraits of hard-used saints. His vision is clear, as clear as the memory of how scarecrows in the rearview, \"each of them, stuffed \/ into a body they didn't choose, resembled \/ your own plight.\" His poetry embraces unsanctimonious life with all its wonder, its levity, and clumsiness. \u003ci\u003eAbout the Dead\u003c\/i\u003e is an accomplished collection by a writer in control of a wide range of experience, and it speaks to the heart of any reader willing to catch his \"drift, and ride it like the billowed \/ end of some cockamamie parachute all the way \/ back to the soft, dysfunctional, waiting earth.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 88\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 8.3 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 20, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47354055885049,"sku":"9780874218275","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/9uzhfFHrbf9780874218275.webp?v=1769829057","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/about-the-dead-volume-15-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
