{"product_id":"the-hormone-of-darkness-a-playlist","title":"The Hormone of Darkness: A Playlist","description":"A bilingual selection of tender, transgressive poems by a Peruvian poet and multimedia artist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Tilsa Otta’s The Hormone of Darkness, we find a queer, Latinx person who has lived through iterations of authoritarian rule, and who answers these conditions by creating poetry that doubles down on a life force that precedes and exceeds received notions of the poetic. Here poetry is bawdy, fabulist, and spiritual―in short, it is alive. Otta has created a heaven where readers can go after they die.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.","brand":"Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47854229389538,"sku":"MTO-MACMILLAN-2026-06-2-8.10-309","price":36.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/9898\/5881\/files\/book_308_BU4MCLir7.jpg?v=1780448541","url":"https:\/\/layitflat.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-hormone-of-darkness-a-playlist","provider":"Lay it Flat Publishing Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
