In a fluid, compelling voice, she sets a stage, peoples it with real and imagined characters, spins them into dizzying motion, and then makes everything disappear as with a wave of a conjurer's wand, leaving the reader to wonder, \"Did that happen, or did I dream it?\" One leaves her poetry the way one leaves a dark theater on a July afternoon, convinced that the ordinary passions really won't do--they need to be larger, as large as they are in these poems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of North Texas Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47591619756183,"sku":"9781574410037","price":1414.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781574410037.webp?v=1774973870","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/delirium-9781574410037","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
