Here, it is always night, grim night, under absurd moons. Venturing through dreamscapes, hellscapes, and lurid landscapes, poems map speculative fields of spiritual warfare. This collection is controlled chaos powered by nightmare fuel. It animates an utterly odd organism: a cosmology cobbled with scripture, superstition, mass media, mad science. Horrid, holy, unholy--these pages overrun with the unhinged, intrusive thoughts that obsess us all late into nighttime.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary-Alice Daniel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300268009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300268003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/21\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.37h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Mary-Alice Daniel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44080004628735,"sku":"9780300268003","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5127c383-c62c-459b-b1ef-fabe95b352fb.jpg?v=1685484397","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mass-for-shut-ins-mary-alice-daniel-9780300268003","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
