George Quasha's torqued, enigmatic proverbs create unlikely balances among discrepant engagements.\u003ci\u003e Waking from Myself \u003c\/i\u003eis the sixth volume published of George Quasha's \"preverbs,\" an invented poetic genre that's the flipside of \"proverbs\"--instead of giving capsules of wisdom, they awaken language to its inevitable ambiguities in the face of complex truth-telling. The vectors of these marvelous poems work at cross purposes, keeping each other aloft. If William Blake's \"Proverbs of Hell\" are poetry, then George Quasha's preverbs are like a close cousin. Its core question is: can poetry say the unsayable?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Quasha\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1581772076\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781581772074\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Station Hill Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.05h x 6.15w x 0.72d","brand":"George Quasha","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995911291135,"sku":"9781581772074","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1c3212ae-e019-420c-8267-e6224b224a3e.jpg?v=1683338589","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/waking-from-myself-george-quasha-9781581772074","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
