Beginning with \u003cem\u003eThe Boy From the Green Cabaret Tells of His Mother\u003c\/em\u003e, which brought the 20-year-old poet fame and notoriety, \u003cem\u003eDesire Lines \u003c\/em\u003ebrings more than 300 pages of MacSweeney's poetry back into print. His prolific 1970s are represented here by eight complete sequences, including the major political work \u003cem\u003eBlack Torch\u003c\/em\u003e and the previously unpublished long poems \u003cem\u003eToad Church\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003ePelt Feather Log\u003c\/em\u003e. Drawing on archival resources and extensive bibliographic resources, \u003cem\u003eDesire Lines\u003c\/em\u003e collects the majority of MacSweeney's poetry not included in \u003cem\u003eWolf Tongue: Selected Poems, 1965-2000\u003c\/em\u003e. These unselected poems showcase the full range of his capabilities: from raw lyrical emotion to modernist fragmentation, from historical narrative to surreal invention and absurd humour. Including five unpublished poems from the 1980s - including the \"State-of-the-Nation Bulletin\", \u003cem\u003eRevulsion\u003c\/em\u003e and the tender, heartbroken 'Soft Hail' - MacSweeney's essential contribution to modern poetry can be seen to its full extent. Alongside translations from the French of Guillaume Apollinaire, \u003cem\u003eDesire Lines\u003c\/em\u003e includes an introduction and notes on the texts by the editor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 342\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.76 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 27, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52727952113971,"sku":"9781848615793","price":43.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/S1pjcVlRRFZNS0ZqelFXU2xRdGdGZz09.webp?v=1763769728","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/desire-lines-unselected-poems-1966-2000-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
