The book feels less like a proper literary work (a book of poetry) and more like a manual for poetic survival. One poem reads like some sort of linguistic code that manages to murmur \"it is what it is\"; another is more classically \"concrete,\" reflecting on typewriter and pattern poems of past centuries; and another consists of a complete signature of unmarked blank pages (they await being torn out and curled up into a loose tube) as was the 19th-century prototype for the stethoscope, but used this time to listen in on the poet's \"speaking\" heart. Sigler's newest collection may be seen as a field guide to a poet's last gasp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hunters Point Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780578576916\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 6.60w x 1.20d","brand":"Jeremy Sigler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36638953963676,"sku":"9780578576916","price":25.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_fad27ed5-9979-4eef-92c0-1c1940f9bc23.jpg?v=1603848637","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/goodbye-letter-9780578576916","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
