His line is longer and looser than in \u003ci\u003eTaboo \u003c\/i\u003eor \u003ci\u003eTalking Dirty to the Gods\u003c\/i\u003e, and in long poems like \"Autobiography of My Alter Ego\" he sounds almost breathless, an exhausted but desperate prophet. With the leaps and improvisational flourishes of a jazz soloist, Komunyakaa imagines \"the old masters of Shock \u0026amp; Awe\" daydreaming of \"lovely Penelope \/ like a trophy.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yusef Komunyakaa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Straus and Giroux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.3lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.16w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374531911","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43111817379977,"sku":"9780374531911","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_7156c2a1-7d49-40ec-9909-863811ed1c7f.jpg?v=1730795749","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/warhorses-9780374531911","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
