The final section, \"That This,\" delivers beautiful short squares of verse that might look at home in a hymnal, with their orderly appearance packing startling power: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e That this book is a history of\u003cbr\u003e a shadow that is a shadow of\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Me mystically one in another\u003cbr\u003e another another to subserve.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Howe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0811219186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811219181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/07\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.75h x 7.57w x 0.31d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/17\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2011 pg. 67","brand":"Susan Howe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044543656191,"sku":"9780811219181","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_711fd950-c917-4240-86e1-0a1c182e3b54.jpg?v=1684973464","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/that-this-susan-howe-9780811219181","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
