Here poetry is bawdy, fabulist, and spiritual―in short, it is alive. Otta has created a heaven where readers can go after they die.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing from four volumes spanning Otta’s career, translator-poet Farid Matuk has curated a playlist we can dance and dream to, one that honors Otta’s drive toward liberation through both perreo in the club and transdimensional wandering among the stars.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Long Live the Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45298359926850,"sku":"9781644453131","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/8101\/7666\/files\/9781644453131.jpg?v=1790963133","url":"https:\/\/longlivethebookstore.com\/products\/the-hormone-of-darkness-a-playlist","provider":"Long Live the Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
