Lawrence states, \"The quivering nimble hour of the present, this is the quick of Time ... The quick of the universe is the pulsating, carnal self, mysterious and palpable.\" \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn the Quick of Time\u003c\/em\u003e echoes Lawrence's placement of the writer in time, and the poems of this collection strive to catch the fullness of a self at once \"mysterious and palpable.\" These verses speak of tensions that reflect the planet we all inhabit while they revel in art's playful reordering of the found world. Irony and ellipsis abound in these pages, along with a passion for rhyme, alliteration, and imagery. In keeping with the self's mutability, the collection offers a variety of poetic forms, some as classic as the sonnet and others as contemporary as graphic verse.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis collection of poetry engages the human struggle with time, explores the flux of identity, and considers various conflicts of our world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dru Dougherty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1480827703\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781480827707\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Archway Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/02\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.22d","brand":"Dru Dougherty","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48458685120767,"sku":"9781480827707","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ff8a6fe4-c2ab-4773-97a6-e1c6c3140f18.jpg?v=1777405964","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-the-quick-of-time-dru-dougherty-9781480827707","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
