In this remarkable debut, Nicolas Hundley's poems chronicle with honesty--and often bitter humor--a harrowing journey through loss, death, and mourning. A widow \"hauls a sack filled with the\u003cbr\u003elimbs of statues,\" and mourners become \"familiar as a pet is familiar, returning years later, \/ stitched up from experimentation.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJuxtaposing such incongruous images, Hundley creates uncanny worlds in which antiquated objects and characters coexist with those from a sinister future, in which wound-dressers and alchemists coexist alongside \"heretical machines enacting misdeeds.\" Religion, fatherhood, and masculinity are all explored in Hundley's tales: A bicycle becomes the subject of worship, inventors act as parents to their machines, and an industrialized human reproduction takes place in factories. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn Hundley's hands, words clang together in startling ways, and the repetition of phrases and images leads to unexpected transformations. The poems brilliantly use dream logic to fuel their imagery, even as they call upon a variety of poetic forms--from the prose poem to the sonnet--to evoke literary traditions that recall the gothic\u003cbr\u003eand the surreal. Moving and strange, Hundley's poems are unforgettable.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Revolver in the Hive | Nicolas Hundley | Paperback | 9780823250882 | Used: Like New | Poetry 1729120 (temp: 17)","offer_id":48167623295128,"sku":"1729120","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71Bf3WxbN2L.jpg?v=1771951636","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/revolver-in-the-hive","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
