{"product_id":"9781965154137","title":"Moony Days of Being - Nathan Hoks","description":"\u003cp\u003ePoems that inhabit a world of flammable metaphors and spiritual fog machines, delivering poems that are part elegy, part glitch, part lunar broadcast. Moony Days of Being, Nathan Hoks' fourth collection of poetry, is a surreal and tender reckoning with absurdity, memory, and the unravelings of daily life. These odes, self-portraits, and dedicatory poems fuse humor with emotional urgency as they wrestle with parenthood, intimate loss, and ecological and political despair.�The book opens in a place of existential estrangement and gradually adopts an elegiac and relational tone, speaking to family, poets, and imagined interlocutors with uncertainty and longing. The title poem, a cento composed of lines from the book, weaves refrains from earlier pieces into a coda. Interspersed throughout the book are quatrains of found images captioned by lines from the poems, an intermedia form that presents a playful visual index of the book's motifs. Hok's poems resist tidy epiphany. Instead, they zigzag and pulse with associative energy-a lyricism that questions its own coherence while inviting the reader into resonant, affective spaces. With homages to influences like Vallejo, Plath, and O'Hara, Moony Days of Being is as much a book of grief and exhaustion as it is a performance of loopy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nathan Hoks","offers":[{"title":"64 pages, Illustrations \/ 21\/05\/2026 \/ Poetry by individual poets","offer_id":57110864986487,"sku":"9781965154137","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781965154137.jpg?v=1779388648","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781965154137","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
