In a multiplicity of voices and tones, \u003cem\u003eLove's Last Number\u003c\/em\u003e reflects on what we do about memory, love, grief, war, and the contradictions implicit in the human search for meaning. At once profoundly intimate and ambitiously broad in scope, this collection explores the place of individual losses and joys in the context of greater historical tragedy and triumph.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn its sinuous sequences, \u003cem\u003eLove's Last Number\u003c\/em\u003e insists that life--and history--are a continuing crisis of faith, imagination, consciousness, and moral clarity. And yet these poems, like existence itself, offer moments of transcendent joy and sudden, inexplicable hilarity: laughter against the darkness. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Howell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 157131475X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781571314758\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Milkweed Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.50w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/06\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/14\/2017","brand":"Christopher Howell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939702931711,"sku":"9781571314758","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_52fa1891-b746-401b-a543-e01d2a1d5b69.jpg?v=1681443019","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/loves-last-number-christopher-howell-9781571314758","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
