At the same time, these poems struggle to conceive of the beautiful and the hopeful in some way that can escape the purely naive. They confront loss and wrong, but because \"Elegy \/ is stupid, if you can avoid it,\" they seek, so much as is possible, not to offer consolation in exchange for what ought not to have happened in the first place. If making the world right with itself would be simultaneously the simplest and the most difficult thing, these poems try to imagine the moment right before that change would become possible and try to imagine the questions we'd be confronted with then, in hope of opening the possibility of imagining the answers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeffrey Schultz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e National Poetry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.45h x 5.48w x 0.28d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820347219","brand":"University of Georgia Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42713679888521,"sku":"9780820347219","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_494a76cf-9ac7-4561-838f-22e5d0a23e04.jpg?v=1719619713","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/what-ridiculous-things-we-could-ask-of-each-other-poems-9780820347219","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
