{"product_id":"the-beautiful-losses","title":"The Beautiful Losses","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Beautiful Losses tells stories. They may be set in todayÕs world, the deep past, the far future, on distant planets, or in alternate and quite implausible histories. Like all stories they involve conflict. They may occur within one person, for every self is a mixtape of narratives. What you wonÕt find are the endless elegies for the poetÕs own parents or childhood that typify contemporary poetry. Reality, these poems say, is one thing: itÕs reflected in, and reflects, your most secret fantasies; it contains desire, and all feared or desired futures. Hopefully, reading some of these poems, youÕll laugh.
