His poems include the figure of Joan of Arc (Jeanne d'Arc) and her voices; the explosion of the U.S. prison system and racial legal fictions amid the groundswell of mass terror in the wake of the U.S. Civil War; the politically poisoned poetic lineage that moves from Modernism, to New Criticism, and dead-ends in Southern Agrarianism; and the destructive colonial histories of the sugar and cotton industries. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Reckoning of Jeanne d'Antietam\u003c\/i\u003e stands imbricated with the spell of language-the-testament; language as hard rhyme and difficult music, evanescence and violence; and the invocation of names and events at their meeting places in history. Moore's poems stand against sentiment and pity, and against the consolation of that which cannot be consoled. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nevada Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/07\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781647790820\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Matthew Moore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42573295780021,"sku":"9781647790820","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_006aa4a2-a8f3-4b29-833e-78b3514e915a.jpg?v=1672156028","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-reckoning-of-jeanne-dantietam-poems-9781647790820","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
