Many of the poems embody a nexus of interaction with historical events, films, modernist poetic texts, and works of art—but from this allusion and evocation, a multifarious voice emerges. In these pages, the electric linguistic experiment meets a new urban, postnatural poetics, one in which poetry is not just a play of signs and seemings but also a prismatic investigation of our contemporary order: \"Hurry up before our factory leaves. \/ The first column of the Freedom Tower \/ traduces its ensorcellment in the facade.\" Here is a poetry both deeply lyrical and resistant, a poetry relentless in its invention and its stance against the apathy of convention and consumption.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"David Lau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42960253485174,"sku":"9780520258747","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/ingramacademic.com\/products\/virgil-and-the-mountain-cat-9780520258747","provider":"Ingram Academic \u0026 Professional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
