{"product_id":"9781939568441","title":"There Must Be a Reason People  Come Here by Brian Foley","description":"A philosophical-minded and syntactically experimental book of poetry.   The philosopher Catherine Malabou once asked: \"What should we do so that consciousness of the brain does not purely and simply coincide with the spirit of capitalism?\" There Must Be A Reason People Come Here by Brian Foley is a collection of poems that attempts to answer this question by broadcasting the indirect effects of the lived condition of a subject squeezed under the structures of late capitalism.?Lines like, \"Hope is a chemical, not a dream ignited in the eye \/ that can be heard sober.\" And \"There is no sun here, \/ just habits of light\" work through the contradictions of what it means to be negatively capable. It is a collection of poems that refuses to conform to the norms of what poetry is and how it must say things.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56309089534325,"sku":"9781939568441","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781939568441.jpg?v=1762810396","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781939568441","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
