Cause and effect become unreasoned and transcendent, at times lifting the arbitrary into the sublime or the sublime into happenstance. Intuitive leaps pull us through oscillations between humor, introspection, and the surreal. These poems don't follow a straight path; instead, they capture the way thoughts shift, contradict, and collide. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Inspired by the poet's dreams, as well as travels throughout central Europe, the West Indies, and Central and South America, the poems are alive in voice and detail, yet the speaker's connections, and more so, disconnections, turn toward isolationism, solitude, and loneliness. At times, the collection leans into restless emotion: \"I want to cry \/ when I think of how \/ I'll look back at this moment someday \/ and cry.\" Other moments pull the reader to \"a far away place \/ of limitless palm trees and sunsets.\" This is poetry that doesn't try to fit into a traditional form. It questions, observes, and rethinks the world around it. Some moments might seem absurd, others deeply reflective, but all of them work together to create a book that is both thought-provoking and unpredictable. \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"University of Massachusetts Press","offers":[{"title":"I Love You But I Don't Speak Your Language | Jason Bredle | Paperback | 9781625349279 | New | Poetry 1756673","offer_id":49261357596824,"sku":"1756673","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71QhmEXyX8L.jpg?v=1781718170","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/i-love-you-but-i-dont-speak-your-language","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
