White Lily is John Emil Vincent's love note to Louise Gl?ck and Laurie Anderson, two artists inspired and bedevilled by white lilies. Under their spell the poet dives into parable, fable, received wisdom, compact discs, and ruined utopias like a gleeful truant child. The white lily is ever present - its meanings, messages, and seductive scent. The collection begins with a meditation on Anderson's song \"White Lily\" and its treatment of Rainer Werner Fassbinder's fourteen-hour film Berlin Alexanderplatz. It goes on to ponder whether, if we take them in earnest, our mistakes come to serve as the surest sign of seriousness. Throughout, Vincent's poems trouble what's exact and exacting, always with the white lily as companion, a promise of rebirth delivered in funeral tones.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Emil Vincent\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0228023777\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780228023777\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McGill-Queen's University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"John Emil Vincent","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46670577860863,"sku":"9780228023777","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/white-lily-john-emil-vincent-9780228023777","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
