Narratives are braided together as Prufer manipulates white space to mimic the silence of minds at work on unsolvable problems, how time \"unravels \/ endlessly.\" Here, visions of classical Greece and the trials of ancient Romans coexist with the everyday--memories of a parent's death or the loss of a pet. We bear witness as the poet writes to preserve the intricacy of his own mind against the \"certainty of absence.\" Exploring what it means to be forgotten and how legacy is preserved through poetry, history books, a mummy's index finger, and love letters from the grave, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Fears\u003c\/i\u003e invites us to consider what it means to \u003ci\u003ematter\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Copper Canyon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781556596643\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.60w x 0.20d","brand":"Kevin Prufer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43075503784117,"sku":"9781556596643","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_6ef99875-0d45-49d9-bef2-561bee46d3be.jpg?v=1691467567","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-fears-9781556596643","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
