Confounded by Japanese-Canadian legacies too painful to fully embrace, Michael Prior's split speakers struggle to understand themselves as they submit to their reinvention: \"I am all that is wrong with the Old World, \/ and half of what troubles the New.\" Prior emerges as a poet not of identity, but identities. Invented identities, double identities, provisional identities--his art always bearing witness to a sense of self held long enough to shed at a moment's notice. \u003ci\u003eModel Disciple\u003c\/i\u003e's Ovidean shape-shifting is driven by formal mastery and \u003ci\u003emot juste\u003c\/i\u003e precision. It's also one of the most commanding poetic debuts in years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Prior\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 155065439X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781550654394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Signal Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 78\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.30w x 0.30d","brand":"Michael Prior","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485609406719,"sku":"9781550654394","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_52c7cae6-f61d-49d9-9884-276689f3a27e.jpg?v=1778050358","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/model-disciple-michael-prior-9781550654394","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
