In Blowout, Denise Duhamel asks the same question that Frankie Lyman \u0026amp; the Teenagers asked back in 1954—\"Why Do Fools Fall in Love?\" Duhamel's poems readily admit that she is a love-struck fool, but also embrace the \"crazy wisdom\" of the Fool of the Tarot deck and the fool as entertainer or jester. From a kindergarten crush to a failed marriage and beyond, Duhamel explores the nature of romantic love and her own limitations. She also examines love through music, film, and history—Michelle and Barak Obama's inauguration and Cleopatra's ancient sex toy. Duhamel chronicles the perilous cruelties of love gone awry, but also reminds us of the compassion and transcendence in the aftermath. In \"Having a Diet Coke with You,\" she asserts that \"love poems are the most difficult poems to write \/ because each poem contains its opposite its loss \/ and that no matter how fierce the love of a couple \/ one of them will leave the other \/ if not through betrayal \/ then through death.\" Yet, in Blowout, Duhamel fiercely and foolishly embraces the poetry of love.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50362293256465,"sku":"CIN0822962365G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50962002313489,"sku":"CIN0822962365VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51008444203281,"sku":"NIN9780822962366","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0822962365.jpg?v=1762422740"},{"product_id":"two-and-two-book-denise-duhamel-9780822958710","title":"Two And Two","description":"Denise Duhamel's much anticipated new collection begins with a revisionist tale--Noah is married to Joan of Arc--in a poem about America's often flawed sense of history. Throughout Two and Two, doubles abound: Noah's animals; Duhamel's parents as Jack and Jill in a near-fatal accident; an incestuous double sestina; a male\/female pantoum; a dream and its interpretation; and translations of advertisements from English to Spanish. In two M\\u00f6bius strip poems (shaped like the Twin Towers), Duhamel invites her readers to get out their scissors and tape and transform her poems into 3-D objects.  At the book's center is \\u0022Love Which Took Its Symmetry for Granted,\\u0022 a gathering of journal entries, personal e-mails, and news reports into a collage of witness about September 11. A section of \\u0022Mille et un sentiments,\\u0022 modeled on the lists of Herv\\u00e9 Le Tellier, Georges Perec, and George Brainard, breaks down emotions to their most basic levels, their 1,001 tiny recognitions. The book ends with \\u0022Carb\\u00f3 Frescos,\\u0022 written in the form of an art guidebook from the 24th century.  Innovative and unpretentious, Duhamel uses twice the language usually available for poetry. She culls from the literary and nonliterary, from the Bible and product warning labels, from Woody Allen films and Hong Kong action movies--to say difficult things with astonishing accuracy. Two and Two is second to none.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50370390720785,"sku":"CIN0822958716G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51199779307793,"sku":"CIN0822958716VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52740340678929,"sku":"NIN9780822958710","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0822958716.jpg?v=1762423001"},{"product_id":"second-story-book-denise-duhamel-9780822966531","title":"Second Story","description":"When her Florida apartment is damaged by the ferocity of Hurricane Irma, Duhamel turns to Dante and terza rima, reconstructing the form into the long poem \"Terza Irma.\" Throughout the book she investigates our near-catastrophic ecological and political moment, hyperaware of her own complicity, resistance, and agency. She writes odes to her favorite uncle - who was \"green\" before it was a hashtag - and Mother Nature via a retro margarine commercial. She writes letters to her failing memory as well as to America's amnesia.

The poems in Scald engage feminism in two ways—committing to and battling with—various principles and beliefs. Duhamel wrestles with foremothers and visionaries Shulamith Firestone, Andrea Dworkin, and Mary Daly as well as with pop culture figures such as Helen Reddy, Cyndi Lauper, and Bikini Kill. In dialogue with artists and writers such as Catherine Opie, Susan Faludi, and Eve Ensler, Duhamel tries to understand our cultural moment. While Duhamel's Scald can burn, she has more importantly taken on the role of the ancient Scandinavian \"Skald,\" one who pays tribute to heroic deeds. In Duhamel's case, her heroes are also heroines.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51008561905937,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51008564789521,"sku":"NIN9780822964506","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53469809377553,"sku":"CIN0822964503G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0822964503.jpg?v=1762423008"},{"product_id":"ice-on-a-hot-stove-book-denise-duhamel-9781638040040","title":"Ice on a Hot Stove:","description":"\u003cp\u003eIncludes poetry by Claire Bateman, Suzanne Cleary, David Colodney, Sarah Cooper, Tyree Daye, Denise Duhamel, Gabrielle Brant Freeman, Albert Goldbarth, Lisa M.

In Tilt, Denise Duhamel and Maureen Seaton (1947-2023) write through climate change, Maureen’s illness, and the pandemic with their signature wit and poignancy. Their feminist curiosity leads them to poems about gender identity, marriage equality, and the complexities of national politics. Assembled shortly before Maureen’s death, the poems in Tilt tell the story of a friendship rooted in collaborative artistic play. The title of the book gives a nod to the earth’s tilt, which gives us seasons, but also hints that the poems were written at full tilt, these poets hyperaware they only had so much time left to write with one another.  Beautiful People was written back and forth over the course of several months by poets Maureen Seaton and Aaron Smith. Bold and inventive, it moves from sonnets and sestinas to prose poems and so much more. While its center is a love for poetry and art and laughter, the poets also grapple with mortality, sadness, and what it means to be alive on a broken but beautiful planet. Through their literary friendship, they put a mirror to all our lovely faces.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52902357205265,"sku":"NIN9781957946214","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781957946214.jpg?v=1765578724"},{"product_id":"237-more-reasons-to-have-sex-book-denise-duhamel-9780980602500","title":"237 More Reasons To Have Sex","description":"\"Originally, I thought that we exhaustively compiled the list, but now I found that there should be some added...\" wrote Cindy Meston, co-author of \"Why Humans Have Sex,\" in the Archives of Sexual Behavior (Volume 36, Number 4, August 2007).
