Following his Surrealist forebears, Kalamaras explores the complexity of language, with startling images and juxtapositions, as a vehicle for visionary poetics. Writing a series of poems for musicians (including some of his favorite jazz greats), along with a several elegies for poets dear to him, Kalamaras explores late-night moments of a generative solitude that leave the realms of loneliness, becoming expansive and interconnected. These poems seek to connect our human impulses to the realms of the spiritual and the discursive. In the process, the poems honor the varieties of human and animal experience-mammals, marsupials, and the insect world, even probing the intelligence and \"vision\" that lie at the heart of molecules. The luminosity in the owl-the profundity of the numinous-Kalamaras shows us, lies inside the owl, even within the intimate space of a rib.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSAMPLE: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sound Behind Water\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeople are always asking, \u003cem\u003eWhich house is this?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey open a door, and my chest sprouts sparrows\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey close a window as an avocado dirts to seed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey look for the outline of a tree in fog\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is barely there, behind their water\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeneath the sky\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside the grass\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIs a shape that moves like an eel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the marsh of your eyes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI see myself struggling for sound\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike a hermit who, even after years of silence, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCan't forget his own name\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe are struck to the earth like a bar of scented soap\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn egret who has grown an extra leg\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI move hesitantly, feeling a larger portion of the world\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeighing less than a ballroom without snow\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI float further into myself\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike a clock narrowing as it leaves midnight\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike a thin rug that has taken many years to weave\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 146\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 01, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45294462861391,"sku":"9781948017619","price":26.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/3083\/3487\/files\/o1A-cfqkqi9781948017619.webp?v=1779587714","url":"https:\/\/lumaryon.com\/products\/luminous-in-the-owls-rib-paperback","provider":"Lumaryon Universal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
