Songs for dead children
\"In a series of poems inspired by Gustav Mahler's Kindertotenlieder, E.D. Blodgett searches for meaning amidst grief. In the contemplative gentleness of his words, he finds the special light children possess in their state of unknowing as they encounter the world. These sparse poems move through acceptance and resignation to the solace that exists in the word. Blodgett's poetry will speak to readers who have experienced loss, are exploring grief, or want to find a way to connect with stillness as they meditate on the unfathomable nothingness of death.\"-- Provided by publisher.

Theory of the Gimmick
Ngai determines why gimmicks are almost comically irritating. Even the word seems to grate on Ivor Brown, who nonetheless devotes an entire essay to lovingly exploring his distaste for it in Words in Our Time (1958). Gimmicks seem to provoke contempt simply in part because they are job related: bits of business for performing aesthetic operations that we somehow become distracted into regarding as aesthetic objects in their own right. Here the much vaunted concept of aesthetic autonomy turns into an undesirable feature for once, when asserted not by the work as a whole but illicitly by an instrumental part-object. More significantly, they see that in addition to being what Brown calls a \"poor kind of artifice;' the gimmick irritates because it \"abbreviates\" work and time.
