Pierced with the question--What if the heart, in the aforementioned capacity, was not a constricting vessel, struggling to withstand internal and external pressures, but instead was a space of release?--the collection opens a cishet masculinity to the inquiries and explorations that the traditional conscription of gender discourages and often vilifies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eI long to abandon this violent \/ vagrancy, but the roads . . . teem with other men who know \/ no training, who see upon me \/ my teachers' marks and ache \/ for the elicitation of drawn steel.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The denser blades of compassion and accountability are Dargan's arms of choice to carry, and not conceal, the weapons he uses to probe his own heart and the hearts of the men and women who shaped him into a man that has been . . . and is unbecoming. The poetic paring of layered lines, the nicking of the process, these poems crimson the page--and not for scarlet spectacle. These versed incisions and sutures are the oeuvre dedicated to the outgrowing of the writer and the \"man\" that began it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Triquarterly Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810145689\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112","brand":"Kyle Dargan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42835584319669,"sku":"9780810145689","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_2848d4dd-68df-4d8e-b108-abbef83719b8.jpg?v=1681223351","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/panzer-herz-a-live-dissection-9780810145689","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
