Much of the book's matter is compressed into that most compact and demanding of fixed forms, the triolet, which, in Jesse DeLong's deft and artful hands, acts as a prism, refracting and defamiliarizing language, thought, and feeling, and revealing the mind to itself as \"a collage\/ different than exists in the known universe.\" Also revealed: the heart, here a vessel for vinegar, that astringent, if flavorful, if no longer intoxicating, remnant of love. Maximalist and minimalist, brilliant and tender, \u003cem\u003eThe Vinegar in Our Hearts \u003c\/em\u003eresists the constraining artifice of closure, offering instead \"silence and solitude not as an emptiness, but as a fullness of self.\" Take it as it is offered: in kind. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-Brad Richard, author of \u003cem\u003eTurned Earth\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 94\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.23 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 20, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53008795009331,"sku":"9781968148331","price":30.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/sas3Gdrg3n9781968148331.webp?v=1769677697","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-vinegar-in-our-hearts-triolets-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
