By turns austere, gritty, futuristic, and visionary, Bolin's poems trace the romance between beauty and destruction like vapor trails, seeming to emerge from nowhere and yielding a lucid, unearthly glow, an evocation of absent presences and scattered signs: \"among \/ the disinformation of the distress feeds,\" Bolin writes, \"a pilot hears his coordinates \/ being called by other planes.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This collection evokes the vividly mysterious remnants of a lost civilization. Its preoccupations are unnervingly familiar: war, injustice, brutalization of land, air, water, and species, technologies of terror and dehumanization. Simultaneously antique and space-age, inhabiting a world of elemental rites and of artificial imaginations, Bolin tests the acoustics of operating rooms, battlefields, courtrooms, and mountainsides, and envisions--with animal acuity--a world imperiled and empowered by its leaders and myths. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Iowa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781609389215\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 68","brand":"Christopher Bolin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43132938092725,"sku":"9781609389215","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_f92e939c-c708-4ee3-8fda-5e663cb68e6f.jpg?v=1695136041","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/anthem-speed-9781609389215","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
