Form and subject are inseparable in poems that consider the complex power dynamic of an older man befriending a younger one, that draw on such classic texts as Plato's \u003ci\u003eSymposium\u003c\/i\u003e and Homer's \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e to make sense of the seemingly random encounters and missed chances that, as one poem puts it, \"make up a life.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs the book's title suggests, these poems take place on the move, in cars, on boats and planes. They find the speaker abroad, as in \"The Death of Argos,\" a sonnet sequence that invents a new configuration for the form. Above all, though, the poems of \u003ci\u003eIn Transit\u003c\/i\u003e attempt to capture a world in flux, turning to form as a stay against the transitory nature of experience.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.6 x 5.6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 30, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48530044027129,"sku":"9781641772471","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/HrUUVB1ok09781641772471.webp?v=1781475312","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/in-transit-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
