The absence of eternity becomes a force in these poems that triggers the \"eventhood\" of the moment, and the fragmentation of the self is not the fall of the subject, but a process of generating new meaning. This triggers a positive line of thought that transcends nihilism and deconstruction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a poetry that navigates the absurd world of bureaucracy, contingency, rupture, and instability.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45118190157847,"sku":"9781965154250","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/files\/81x47kH6vDL._SL1500.jpg?v=1778792489","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/jangwook-lee-possible-bpb","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
