{"product_id":"the-scent-of-man-9798991525459","title":"The Scent of Man","description":"\u003cp\u003eTadeusz Dabrowski's poetry is as beguiling, reflective and precise as a thousand fragments from a shattered hall of mirrors. Whether observing laundry or the military, our cravings for bread or literature, the poems blend the low and the high with a startling grace. They demonstrate that the messiness of human experience, its visceral realities, the carnal truths of the body, our small joys and inevitable decay, are all part of the same fragile narrative. This poetry moves intimately through spaces, sacred and profane, and suggests we are never fully in one world or the other but constantly drifting between them. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTADEUSZ DĄBROWSKI (b. 1979)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoet, essayist, critic.
