Collected by Elisa Sampedrin. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLisa Robertson writes poems that mine the past -- its ideas, its personages, its syntax -- to construct a lexicon of the future. Her poems both court and cuckold subjectivity by unmasking its fundament of sex and hesitancy, the coil of doubt in its certitude. Reading her laments and utopias, we realize that language -- whiplike -- casts ahead of itself a fortuitous form. The form brims here pleasurably with dogs, movie stars, broths, painting's detritus, Latin and pillage. Erudite and startling, the poems in \u003ci\u003eLisa Robertson's Magenta Soul Whip\u003c\/i\u003e, occasional works written over the past fifteen years, turn vestige into architecture, chagrin into resplendence. In them, we recognize our grand, saddened century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lisa Robertson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Coach House Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.3lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 4.70w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781552452158","brand":"Coach House Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42439268630665,"sku":"9781552452158","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_8c423291-5e4f-4e2f-b469-91fb061613f6.jpg?v=1716270925","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/lisa-robertsons-magenta-soul-whip-9781552452158","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
