There is no resultant 'Europoem', but a variety of styles that reflects the collaborative nature of the poems' production, the richness of a continent. The works range from the comedic to the political, from the imaginatively sincere to the faux-autobiographical, from traditional lyricism to the experimental. Accompanied by biographical notes, the poets grow in vividness until they seem to possess lives of their own. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This collection marks a continuation of the work Sheppard ventriloquised through his creation, the fictional bilingual Belgian poet René Van Valckenborch, in \u003cem\u003eA Translated Man\u003c\/em\u003e. Although devised before the neologism 'Brexit' was spat across the bitter political divide, this sample of 28 poets of the EUOIA (European Union of Imaginary Authors) takes on new meanings in our contemporary world that is far from fictive, 'fake news' or not. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 122\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.29 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 27, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53377705050419,"sku":"9781848615656","price":30.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/EQymzobvyQ9781848615656.webp?v=1779326116","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/twitters-for-a-lark-poetry-of-the-european-union-of-imaginary-authors-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
