His poems are mysterious and intellectually provocative. . . . They are the poems of a survivor.\"-Stephen Dunn In this exuberant and distinctive collection, Dionisio Martínez addresses topics as diverse as love, the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, twentieth-century art and music, and the relevance of language in an age of image.Much of Martínez's private iconography comes from the picket-fence California community of his youth, in which large events-from the veneration of pop icons (Jean Harlow, Ed Sullivan) to the Vietnam War-seemed to move in slow motion. As an adult, the poet tries to make sense of what the child could not grasp.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51856161931552,"sku":"NEW0393315312","price":20.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61b4Uv_hJPL.jpg?v=1781547780","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/bad-alchemy-poems-0393315312","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
