Navigating the complex penetrability of language, these poems are sonic in their espousal of Black vernacular traditions, while examining histories, pop culture, myth, and folklore. Both dazzling and devastating, \u003cem\u003eSho\u003c\/em\u003e is a genius work of literary precision, wordplay, farce, and critical irony. In his \"stove-like imagination,\" Kearney has concocted poems that destabilise the spectacle, leaving looky-loos with an important uncertainty about the intersection between violence and entertainment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47598213071084,"sku":"9781950268153","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/387d0651738192f4275416ef9d53666c.jpg?v=1778026711","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/sho-by-douglas-kearney-9781950268153","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
