His verse is cheaper than usual, expurgated of any added governmental tariffs. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut the savings is just part of the reward for serious readers. They will appreciate that Maiello, by using the voice of a meditative narrator who is intent on accounting for much of the sense of wonder and confusion that our state of affairs promotes, is dedicated to looking at the full ledger. Where do the numbers go awry? Where do they make sense? Where do they just don't add up?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the aggregate, his style is a sum of first-personal narration, omniscient introspection, imagist description, and a bevy of puns and allusions that start with the title itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaiello is of that group of watchdog poets who always sniff for beauty and ugliness, who write defiant verse, who are foes of tyranny, and who brood about political tension. As Percy Bysshe Shelley put it, \"Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 76\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.16 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 21, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53248971178291,"sku":"9780998487083","price":24.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/EKTMkS5c-o9780998487083.webp?v=1776317656","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/tax-free-phrases-poetry-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
