Grappling with our dark times and our inability to stop destroying the planet or to end our endless wars, Palmer offers a counterlight of wit (\u003cem\u003epoetry was dead again \/ they said again\u003c\/em\u003e), as well as the glow of wonder. In polyphonic passages, voices speak from a decentered place, yet are rooted in the whole history of culture that has gone before: \"When I think of 'possible worlds, ' I think not of philosophy, but of elegy. And impossible worlds. Resistant worlds.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn the light of day\u003cbr\u003e perhaps all of this\u003cbr\u003e will make sense.\u003cbr\u003e But have we come this far, \u003cbr\u003e come this close to death, \u003cbr\u003e just to make sense?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Palmer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/04\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.4lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811230896","brand":"New Directions Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43256107827337,"sku":"9780811230896","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_4739d042-0d0f-4691-8c13-9787a95b0aad.jpg?v=1736237276","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/little-elegies-for-sister-satan-9780811230896","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
