Much of the book's matter is compressed into that most compact and demanding of fixed forms, the triolet, which, in Jesse DeLong's deft and artful hands, acts as a prism, refracting and defamiliarizing language, thought, and feeling, and revealing the mind to itself as \"a collage\/ different than exists in the known universe.\" Also revealed: the heart, here a vessel for vinegar, that astringent, if flavorful, if no longer intoxicating, remnant of love. Maximalist and minimalist, brilliant and tender, \u003cem\u003eThe Vinegar in Our Hearts \u003c\/em\u003eresists the constraining artifice of closure, offering instead \"silence and solitude not as an emptiness, but as a fullness of self.\" Take it as it is offered: in kind. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-Brad Richard, author of \u003cem\u003eTurned Earth\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67392692420653,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_c7565869-9720-4f4d-ab5c-d13aa8edfac5.jpg?v=1787366764","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/vinegar-in-our-hearts-triolets","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
