A pure-gospel shout to the vaulted heavens.\" --D. A. POWELL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten in the aftermath of brain trauma, this astonishing collection takes us through a glittering underworld of illness and recovery, on a confrontational, explosive trip that is at once euphoric and brutal. Through the painful process of rehabilitation and the lingering effects of illness, including a gradual loss of vision, Alex Lemon undergoes a forced metamorphosis that shatters the divide between pain and joy. These poems invoke, proclaim, decry, and serenade the world that results after the violation of identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the taste of blood to a glimpse into the opening heavens, the hallucinatory poems of \u003cem\u003eHallelujah Blackout\u003c\/em\u003e are an expedition of self made foreign: when the membranes that divide mind and body rupture and the space between them is made, visible, radiant, alien. It is a rapturous reclamation of the body and a mournful ode to what has been lost. Without relying on familiar narratives of despair and pity, this collection serves as a tender hymn to the decay, crimes, and promise of human life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 168\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.46 x 8.51 x 5.97 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 12, 2008\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47460497391794,"sku":"9781571314314","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/0eec230ec3cca2d566933b5f690a4d0d.webp?v=1778922569","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/hallelujah-blackout-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
