Disquieting and healing, Corey Marks's poems hold to \"a moment when possibility \/ bristles so close it holds a shape in the air.\"\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e The sculptor Gislebertus, Doubting Thomas, Theseus, and John Keats share space in the pages of Renunciation with a survivor of the bomb in Hiroshima, a blind girl in the South American jungle, and DeSoto's thirteen swine in the hold of a ship bound for America. Rich with almost palpable nuances of light and sound, Marks's lyric meditations unravel a constant play of loss and continuation, \"mending sense from spare threads\" and hovering over connections undone even as they are made.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Illinois Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52523431493912,"sku":"9780252068980","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/renunciation-poems-paperback-softback-9780252068980","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
