In associative lyrics and fabulist prose, Hoks explores inner and outer experiences. The poems frequently focus on the body as a membrane where everything becomes inside-out--where the \"face disperses with angels of teeth and loam,\" where \"sky comes out of the mouth,\" where a giant green worm \"burrows a hole in the head,\" and where the heart is a vestibule that cannot be closed. Suites of pictures within the text further delineate this inward-outward pull, offering visualizations of interior voices and sketches of exterior shadows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143123736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.90w x 0.40d","brand":"Nathan Hoks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45187011674293,"sku":"9780143123736","price":18.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_0cce0877-6971-43d1-a98c-210d7576bfd8.jpg?v=1742271051","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-narrow-circle-9780143123736","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
