Decades after it first appeared in 1995, this collection retains the capacity to shock, appall, and jolt readers into recognizing homosexuality as its own specific category of being. Behind Chen’s depictions of the disjunctive realities of queer erotic life, a formidable and uncompromising poetic intelligence can be seen at play. Alongside the erotic, satirical offerings from \u003ci\u003eDecapitated Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e, this volume includes selections from Chen’s remarkable sci-fi sequences that offer further transcorporeal meditations on forbidden queer love. Excoriating, heretical, tender, and always alive to the transgressive potential of language, this exhilarating volume from Seagull’s Pride List is the perfect introduction to one of Taiwanese poetry’s most daring voices.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Ophthalmologist–poet Ko-Hua Chen’s \u003ci\u003eDecapitated Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e exuberantly straddles the bodily and the speculative.\" * Harriet Books *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Song of Dumbbells\u003cbr\u003e2.From the Treadmill, I See… \u003cbr\u003e3.The House of the Mirror \u003cbr\u003e4.Ode to Muscles \u003cbr\u003e5.An Invisible Murder \u003cbr\u003e6.Death of the Last Bodybuilder \u003cbr\u003e7.This Morning after the Sex \u003cbr\u003e8.I Am Curious about My Body \u003cbr\u003e9.Wedding Speech \u003cbr\u003e10.The Necessity of Anal Sex \u003cbr\u003e11.Man Eats Man \u003cbr\u003e12.Invisible Man \u003cbr\u003e13.Flyman \u003cbr\u003e14.Toilet Man \u003cbr\u003e15.Snake Man \u003cbr\u003e16.Song of Condoms \u003cbr\u003e17.Rain \u003cbr\u003e18.Map of a Wet Dream \u003cbr\u003e19.A Nihilist Son \u003cbr\u003e20.Body Poems (Selected)\u003cbr\u003e21.I Love the Founding Father \u003cbr\u003e22.Bareback, Okay? \u003cbr\u003e23.Your Scrotum Tightens Up\u003cbr\u003e24.I Want You to Swim in My Body\u003cbr\u003e25.Actually, I Am a Leg-Fetishist \u003cbr\u003e26.Wet \u003cbr\u003e27.Everyone Likes to Swallow the Bread of Life \u003cbr\u003e28.The Necessity of Bestiality\u003cbr\u003e29.Twelve Love Poems for a Cyborg\u003cbr\u003e30.Notes on a Planet","brand":"Seagull Books London Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49412913234263,"sku":"9781803091648","price":16.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781803091648.jpg?v=1730518525","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/decapitated-poetry-9781803091648","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
