By turns austere, gritty, futuristic, and visionary, Bolin's poems trace the romance between beauty and destruction like vapor trails, seeming to emerge from nowhere and yielding a lucid, unearthly glow, an evocation of absent presences and scattered signs: \"among \/ the disinformation of the distress feeds,\" Bolin writes, \"a pilot hears his coordinates \/ being called by other planes.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis collection evokes the vividly mysterious remnants of a lost civilization. Its preoccupations are unnervingly familiar: war, injustice, brutalization of land, air, water, and species, technologies of terror and dehumanization. Simultaneously antique and space-age, inhabiting a world of elemental rites and of artificial imaginations, Bolin tests the acoustics of operating rooms, battlefields, courtrooms, and mountainsides, and envisions--with animal acuity--a world imperiled and empowered by its leaders and myths.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45484158287895,"sku":"9781609389215","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/files\/71M6XKya_XL._SL1500.jpg?v=1788729765","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/bolin-christopher-anthem-spepb","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
