Lenfestey dazzles with a suite of odes to parts of the body—heart, belly, ankle, teeth, ears, and more—and astonishment at the powers of language: “the sound of ‘n,’” our ancient alphabet, “the terror of publishing.” Known for his exuberant Chinese-style lyrics, now inspired by Neruda’s cascading \u003ci\u003eElemental Odes\u003c\/i\u003e, Lenfestey praises Hewlett and Packard, Bruce Springsteen, “the language of crow,” fruit flies, and cabbages while recalling the “forgiveness of the Catbird” and random acts of kindness, all with his superb ear for sound, rhythm, and leaping figurative language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eRhythmic, jovial, and eminently approachable, this collection embraces the Cetacean mind and the fearless left hand. Here, Lenfestey writes love songs to the world “as it really is: bizarro, curious, inelegant, unclean, \/ unfaithful, filled with delight.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Milkweed Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50083758702935,"sku":"9781571315748","price":11.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781571315748.jpg?v=1740724538","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/time-remaining-9781571315748","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
