In the central sequences, \"The Future of Terror\" and \"The Terror of the Future,\" Harvey imagines citizens and soldiers at the end of their wits at the impending end of the world. Her prose pieces and lyrics examine the divided, halved self in poems about centaurs, ship figureheads, and a robot boy. Throughout, Harvey's signature wit and concision show us the double-sided nature of reality, of what we see and what we know.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Graywolf Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/02\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781555974800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.08w x 0.28d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e National Book Critics Circle Award - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/17\/2007 pg. 37\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2007 pg. 62\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/17\/2008 pg. 12\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/24\/2008 pg. 26\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNY Times Notable Bks of Year\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/07\/2008 pg. 10\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Matthea Harvey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51334066798773,"sku":"9781555974800","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_56b3c2b0-63ef-4783-b82d-e8bb5f5105de.jpg?v=1752583520","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/modern-life-9781555974800","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
