These poems take the reader on a journey across locales ranging from the West Texas desert to the bustling streets of Rome, from the social realm of festivity and ritual to the privacy of the imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlong the way, the search for meaning and stability within a world in constant flux is enlivened by a surrealist vitality. Cézanne and Shakespeare’s Caliban commingle with indie rock musicians and Humpty Dumpty. A mystical encounter with an Edward Hopper painting meets the mundanity of waking again to one’s morning routine. Poems of wry self-deprecation are juxtaposed with quiet meditations on memory, grief, and the relationship between the self and the cosmos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47487761580268,"sku":"9780887486777","price":18.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/f5c623668fb5dc24273864b6efa6d756.jpg?v=1775769113","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/what-passes-here-for-mountains-by-matt-morton-9780887486777","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
