ABOVE THE BEJEWELED CITY opens and closes with homages to Federico Garcia Lorca's dream-struck ballad Romance Sonámbulo. In between, he inhabits what the philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty calls the inexplicable existence that marks our passage here on Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart absurdist, part satirist, part tender correspondent, Davis writes in the slipstream of writers like Joyce, Beckett, Parra, and Plath. In an age that calls out for hopeful verse, ABOVE THE BEJEWLWED CITY offers, instead, a treatise on defeat and despair--and on how letting go is a way of holding on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3834599\"\u003eJon Davis\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grid Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/28\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781946830135\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1946830135\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POE\"\u003ePoetry\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POE000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grid Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42693597855981,"sku":"9781946830135","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_e77355b4-7312-4ccc-bb13-7e69ef7f6893.jpg?v=1649860428","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/above-the-bejeweled-city-9781946830135","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
