Drawing from his Irish heritage, his experience as a pediatrician and many other sources, Mc Donnell has created a work that echoes the scope of T.S. Eliot's \u003cem\u003eThe Waste Land\u003c\/em\u003e and Hart Crane's \u003cem\u003eThe Bridge\u003c\/em\u003e. Both ecstatic and challenging, the lines of the poem are filled with allusions and references, with biology shading into history into cultures both ancient and contemporary, where words are predators and \"memes disseminate cultural-genes.\" Through it all runs Mc Donnell's fascination with language, ever shifting, beguiling, mutating, virus-like. In these questioning, DNA-like lines, Mc Donnell shows us how to unmake and remake our understanding of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.35 x 8.5 x 5.75 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 07, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47353721356537,"sku":"9781998408269","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/NEHBnAgfvu9781998408269_b7a69a10-a5fe-4fb7-a545-3bbf11c904a6.webp?v=1769828415","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/what-we-know-so-far-is-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
