Here, among the major poems of Beautiful False Things, the stand-up comic Larry Sunrise of \"Funny Bones\" duels with death in Florida; in \"Oedipus Host,\" Oedipus arrives from his millennia-long trek to host a TV talk show; and the plucky feminist heroine of \"Heavenly Muse\" visits yet another barely worthy male poet. In the tragicomic title poem, \"translation\" comes to stand for the dilemmas of expression in a culture that sucks up language and spews it back.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grove Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45082486538391,"sku":"9780802136572","price":633.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780802136572.webp?v=1767634760","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/beautiful-false-things-poems-9780802136572","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
