The rhythm of Morse Code drives the poem's haunting music as Lubrin records the effects of warcraft on times of peril and possibility for human cohabitation. The result is a book of chimeric monologues in an invented form Lubrin calls the tesseract--a poem of sixteen lines of fragmented music, shaped by the logic of the mathematical cube--four stanzas growing from the quatrain, each increased by one line until the final one-line stanza.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe poet addresses the myth of the developed world's heirs, casualties, and its wing of weapons that guarantee(d) the successes of empires. \u003ci\u003eBright Machine\u003c\/i\u003e reckons with the saga of civilization as the story of arms history--and its emissaries' expansive appetites for recasting conquest and mass killing--in heartening, urgent poetry for a turbulent world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45143455727639,"sku":"9780771019951","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/files\/71nLLiEwELL._SL1500.jpg?v=1781819072","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/lubrin-canisia-bright-machb","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
