Praised by Will Alexander, who writes that his \"condensed verbal scale\" seems to have \"sprung whole cloth from un-corrupted verbal ether,\" in these poems Jofré relishes his sexuality, explores the confines of gender, and embraces his status as a literal alien with alternating melancholy and amusement. Translated by Shook, whose own work Jofré has translated into Spanish, these poems take on a new life in English, \"euphoric from so much karaoke.\" Jofré's lyric rises like \"sugared vocables\" to the reader's ear and leaves you desperate for a nibble. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 216\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.46 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 24, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52729004491059,"sku":"9781947322097","price":28.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/lSCUoMCozy9781947322097.webp?v=1763798786","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/street-by-street-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
