Their raw and exhilarating new collection of poems throbs with love's extremes: the end of one relationship, the budding of another, and what happens when the heart is pulled both ways at once.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Tempest's \"wires\" are the classical poet's harp, the technological wires of communication, and the neural wires of feeling. Their electrifying new verse weaves interpersonal struggle into a cathartic and memorable work of art about joy and despair, confusion and clarity, self-destruction and revival. Explosively lyrical and pulsing with feeling, \u003ci\u003eRunning Upon the Wires\u003c\/i\u003e is frayed yet powerful in its pain, determined to speak and find love in a human community of \"terrifying beauty.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51601327882513,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51601328242961,"sku":"CIN1635570190G","price":13.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1635570190.jpg?v=1751151816","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/running-upon-the-wires-book-kae-tempest-9781635570199","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
