Confounded by Japanese-Canadian legacies too painful to fully embrace, Michael Prior’s split speakers struggle to understand themselves as they submit to their reinvention: “I am all that is wrong with the Old World, \/ and half of what troubles the New.” Prior emerges as a poet not of identity, but identities. Invented identities, double identities, provisional identities—his art always bearing witness to a sense of self held long enough to shed at a moment’s notice. \u003ci\u003eModel Disciple\u003c\/i\u003e‘s Ovidean shape-shifting is driven by formal mastery and \u003ci\u003emot juste\u003c\/i\u003e precision. It’s also one of the most commanding poetic debuts in years.","brand":"Vehicule Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041300742487,"sku":"9781550654394","price":14.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781550654394.jpg?v=1750949722","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/model-disciple-9781550654394","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
