The vision and the range of his work, including the books \u003cem\u003eClean Sails\u003c\/em\u003e (2015), \u003cem\u003eThe Etcetera Barbecue\u003c\/em\u003e (2008), and\u003cem\u003e A Penny Dreadful\u003c\/em\u003e (2003), show him as one of the more accomplished literary innovators in our age, committed as he is to the opposite of whatever the official culture endorses. His new book \u003cem\u003eGongo Dodan\u003c\/em\u003e is comprised of sixty–two unusual poems, of course. Gustave Morin's poems have never played by the rules, opting instead to playing for keeps, gleefully channelling those cosmic and eternal verities that have long been associated with both the written word and the colossal image. \u003cem\u003eGongo Dodan\u003c\/em\u003e is the result of a lifetime of absorbed aesthetic philosophy shot through many critical social commentaries, all of which serve to illustrate how an amalgamation of a knowledge of the arts, when applied to the art of writing artfully, can come to inhabit one word pushed beyond its own inevitable plasticity – poetry.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Star","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44041339469923,"sku":"9781554201860","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/8655\/1139\/files\/71cnJhqmvQL._SL1500.jpg?v=1772832269","url":"https:\/\/woodlandpatternbookcenter.com\/products\/gongo-dodan","provider":"Woodland Pattern","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
