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\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51942112133408,"sku":"NEW0520258746","price":29.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/virgil-and-the-mountain-cat-poems-new-california-poetry-volume-25-0520258746","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
