Collected by Elisa Sampedrin. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLisa Robertson writes poems that mine the past -- its ideas, its personages, its syntax -- to construct a lexicon of the future. Her poems both court and cuckold subjectivity by unmasking its fundament of sex and hesitancy, the coil of doubt in its certitude. Reading her laments and utopias, we realize that language -- whiplike -- casts ahead of itself a fortuitous form. The form brims here pleasurably with dogs, movie stars, broths, painting's detritus, Latin and pillage. Erudite and startling, the poems in \u003ci\u003eLisa Robertson's Magenta Soul Whip\u003c\/i\u003e, occasional works written over the past fifteen years, turn vestige into architecture, chagrin into resplendence. In them, we recognize our grand, saddened century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Coach House Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781552452158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 101\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 4.70w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eQuill \u0026amp; Quire\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2009 pg. 46\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/25\/2010 pg. 18\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/02\/2010 pg. 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNY Times Notable Bks of Year\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/05\/2010 pg. 29\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Lisa Robertson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40085246148789,"sku":"9781552452158","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_d28acda2-1480-4093-b72b-8978a3895dc4.jpg?v=1621899949","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/lisa-robertsons-magenta-soul-whip-9781552452158","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
