The poet practices an intertextual jouissance showcasing singular gifts for sound and image. We encounter \"the thrown gauntlet \/\/ the poking prod of the devil's own advocate\"; there is salt, wind, brine and ocean; Melville as god, as demon; Melville in the throes of creation and also grieving. Ishmael, Ahab, and Queequeg beckon. Both travelogue and existential reckoning with life, there is a painterly attention to the physical, to the body; there is a grappling with sociology and philosophy: \"Our thinking \/\/ always butting up against the ribs \/ of the paradigms we travel in.\" Balwit's powers are on full display - this book's spirit is deep and wide. - \u003cstrong\u003eCharles Kell\u003c\/strong\u003e, author of \u003cem\u003eIshmael Mask\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\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 0.18 x 9 x 7.38 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 15, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47350964715769,"sku":"9781949279450","price":30.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/cEQvV0U4Tjk0ajFuQU5LR3E3SllKQT09_6a8b3971-0f9f-4754-b514-2184e79fa6f0.webp?v=1769790692","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/spirit-spout-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
