Disquieting and healing, Corey Marks''s poems hold to 'a moment when possibility \/ bristles so close it holds a shape in the air.'\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The sculptor Gislebertus, Doubting Thomas, Theseus, and John Keats share space in the pages of Renunciation with a survivor of the bomb in Hiroshima, a blind girl in the South American jungle, and DeSoto''s thirteen swine in the hold of a ship bound for America. Rich with almost palpable nuances of light and sound, Marks''s lyric meditations unravel a constant play of loss and continuation, 'mending sense from spare threads' and hovering over connections undone even as they are made.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNatalie Ornish Poetry Award, Texas Institute of Letters, 2001.","brand":"MO - University of Illinois Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51138111275351,"sku":"9780252068980","price":17.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780252068980.jpg?v=1751918030","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/renunciation-9780252068980","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
