At the core these poems shine with unsentimental clarity. They are probing, psychologically deep, direct, intimate, and lithe. These poems, just like the body, are proof of life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Andrea Jurjevic, author of \u003cem\u003eSMALL CRIMES\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eNIGHTCALL\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Diebert's\u003cem\u003e THRASH \u003c\/em\u003eis a stunning and deeply thoughtful collection that acknowledges but does not concede to the divided self that inhabits us all-the part of us who does what's expected-claps when appropriate, praises on point, attends when asked, but then there's what we'd rather be doing. These poems capture the tension, doubt and disappointment of the persona, a man who chafes against society's definition of masculinity with precision and wry humor. These pages are rife with the salt and pluck that good poems are made of.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Katie Chaple, author of \u003cem\u003ePRETTY LITTLE ROOMS\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 124\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.29 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 13, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47351095984377,"sku":"9781950739080","price":18.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/ZjJnRkxPQXRieVJMQ0VxWjhPWEUrUT09.webp?v=1769795133","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/thrash-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
