Nothing, he finds, is as far apart as we think, except for the chaos and order, innocence and experience. Lazar's voice is a sacred last resort: something's gotta give.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe voice in these poems is semi-autobiographical and performative: masked yet emotionally raw. Each poem draws on the features of modernist poetry, using an arch, cadenced sentence as its primary unit, but drawing on the \u003ci\u003eIliad\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOdyssey \u003c\/i\u003e, and other classical myths as part of its internal cosmos.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Lazar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0990322114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780990322115\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Etruscan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/10\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 0.30d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Lazar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48483782361343,"sku":"9780990322115","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_46443263-09ab-4947-9ce9-05d5027827b0.jpg?v=1778040611","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/whos-afraid-of-helen-of-david-lazar-9780990322115","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
