From the author of cult poetry bestseller, Crush. Richard Siken’s Crush was an underground international sensation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTwenty years on, he returns with the momentous I Do Know Some Things, cinematic in its tragic vision and emotive force. In the aftermath of a stroke, the poet’s language and much of his memory is, for a time, wiped out. As his mind gropes its way back from oblivion, the scenery flickers between memories of a ruptured childhood and queer coming-of-age, and the precipice of the present.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach poem is a room in a ‘house owned by ghosts'. In these seventy-seven prose poems, Siken has forged a new voice at once terrifying and vital. Brave in content and in method, I Do Know Some Things demands his recognition as an essential poet of our times.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eFormat: P\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gmail_default\"\u003eaperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePublis\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gmail_default\"\u003ehed: UK, 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gmail_default\"\u003eer: Vintage Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePages: 128\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLanguage: English \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e9781784746629\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Richard Siken","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56978289918283,"sku":null,"price":16.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/8755\/1819\/files\/Screenshot2026-04-08at11.49.31.png?v=1775641788","url":"https:\/\/desirelinesbookstore.com\/products\/i-do-know-some-things","provider":"desirelines books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
