In Iván Argüelles' brilliant new book we follow a fecund mind through our plague year. Day by day, poem by poem, Argüelles unspools the internal news, speedy, profuse, enjambed and unwilling to cycle through the usual bromides and pronouncements. This is language on fire, '...midnight speech unraveled, ' crafted and raw, overflowing and yet aching toward a sublime silence where 'meaning diminishes\/ in mulch and nothing comes back.' \u003cem\u003eThe Blank Page\u003c\/em\u003e is news that won't be forgotten.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Philip Brady, author of \u003cem\u003eThe Elsewhere: Poems \u0026amp; Poetics\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Iván Argüelles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 195238608X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781952386084\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sagging Meniscus Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.60d","brand":"Iván Argüelles","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990618472703,"sku":"9781952386084","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b421468b-4538-4976-97ec-0263954ce997.jpg?v=1683305690","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-blank-page-iv-n-argelles-9781952386084","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
