Presenting themselves in a sort of kinship with academic traditions, these poems move beyond scholarly preciousness to uncover something deeper, stranger, and more honest. This collection is a descent into an absurdist avant-garde performance, immersing the reader in the head of \"red\" experiences--those with sensations of extremity, despair, amusement, and derision. Here we find a heart laid bare through poetry that aims for the deadliest parts and dances wildly along the way. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Omnidawn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781632432179\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 225","brand":"LM Rivera","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52403566608565,"sku":"9781632432179","price":19.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_8ca422da-3b1f-4a7c-a559-a04cea522899.jpg?v=1774969737","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-book-of-the-red-absurd-9781632432179","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
