The Blue Absolute by Aaron Shurin (English) Paperback Book

Description: The Blue Absolute by Aaron Shurin Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Urban and pastoral, highly figured and fragmented, grieving and dreaming, the prose poems of The Blue Absolute set people moving and thinking amidst a flurry of dashes, dots, perspective shifts, and the fragmented action of San Francisco, the great city on the edge. Publisher Description The Blue Absolutes prose poems are hot boxes of lyrical language combusting with daily life. People move and think amidst a flurry of dots and dashes in a constant shift of perspective and action-urban and pastoral, highly figured and fragmented, grieving and dreaming-each poem a compressed but fluid zone of almost psychedelic intensity. The book closes with "Shiver," an American epic, at once a lament for and vision of a great city on the edge: San Franciscopast, present, and future.
