Working within the paradox of the insufficiency of language and the necessity of expression, these poems elevate overwhelming experiences into near-mythic narrative. Night Radio's attempt through art to \"make sense\" of a seemingly senseless world raises troubling and timeless questions about the value, necessity, and futility of the aesthetic act. At the heart of the book is a journey toward reconciliation--wherein one discovers an abiding though hard-won faith within a complex, overwhelming, and, at times, frightening universe. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Finalist for the Kate Tufts Discovery Award.","brand":"University of Utah Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47891080675479,"sku":"9781607812050","price":1034.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781607812050.webp?v=1781182301","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/night-radio-9781607812050","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
