Technology today often makes us feel as if we can speak for or as another. But this is an illusion. It is crucial that we remain seriously and playfully alert to the active role our imaginings have in the shaping of what we think we know of ourselves and others. Poetry is vital to raising this awareness. \"Art is puppet-like,\" the poet Paul Celan observed. This collection of poems, some in formal, some in free verse, explores the ironies, humor, emotions, and visions produced by such multifaceted puppetry, its pleasures and dangers, its role in both grief and joy, in experience and recollection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diane Kistner,Anthony Dimatteo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1938853954\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781938853951\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Futurecycle Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/08\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 98\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.20d","brand":"Diane Kistner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440151212287,"sku":"9781938853951","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8b02df0f-e012-4038-aeef-310ed4dd5379.jpg?v=1777180534","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-defense-of-puppets-diane-kistner-9781938853951","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
