NORTHERN SOUL is the second poem in a major sequence entitled \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eUniverse\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, following on from REVELATOR, published by BookThug in Canada in 2013. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eUniverse\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a work that, were Ron Silliman to live long enough, would take him three centuries to complete; it is a poem of globalization and post-global poetics (an important reason for publishing several sections outside the author's native USA). NORTHERN SOUL is a book-length poem of observation and reminiscence, a kaleidoscope of impressions occasioned by visits to Lancashire, in the north-west of England, where the author has several times appeared at the Bury Text Festival; Lancashire is also home to the Northern Soul music scene—another moment of US\/UK interpenetation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31337273065495,"sku":"9781848613195","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/products\/content_53a06a50-3ca3-41ff-858b-e01a2c5a7fca.jpg?v=1586745957","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/northern-soul-by-ron-silliman","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
