Af-ter opening with Cain launched into exile--\"from the good book hurled \/ out to beget the world\"--Rogoff then sweeps us along in his imaginative wanderings, pondering our mortality through the means and powers poetry makes available. The poems explore sacred and secular history, including wars as ancient as Troy and as contemporary as Iraq, and incidents of mass violence from the Middle Ages to modern times. They simul-taneously enlist the power of all forms of art as an ally in confronting disaster and helping us proceed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn a great variety of forms both traditional and experimental, Rogoff's poems meditate on \"the long fault\" into which we will all tumble. Like Hamlet staring into the eyes of Death, \u003ci\u003eThe Long Fault \u003c\/i\u003eresists the encroaching dark with the imaginative sympathy, strong lyricism, and strange humor that powerful poetry can provide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jay Rogoff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807133043\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807133040\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LSU Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.99h x 6.04w x 0.25d","brand":"Jay Rogoff","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48435697582335,"sku":"9780807133040","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7ff66c1e-94aa-4359-ab4a-c4866770aca3.jpg?v=1777152100","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-long-fault-jay-rogoff-9780807133040","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
