After the outstanding success of his latest book, \u003ci\u003eUrban Myths\u003c\/i\u003e, one of the most awarded books of Australian poetry, these new, vital poems continue to explore poetry's possibilities. Reading the collection is like entering a room abuzz with conversation. Part of the book's project is to displace the authorial ego, and translation, mask and disguise are employed to this end, with Tranter re-imagining work by T.S Eliot, Baudelaire and Ashbery in extraordinary and original ways. Tranter's skills as ventriloquist and his ear for the quirks of expression create brilliantly-realised voices of imagined speakers.\u003cbr\u003e John Tranter applies his lacerating wit to ideas of authorship, egotism and poetry wars in this completely engaging and must-have new book.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48135669645470,"sku":"UBD-9780702238451","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780702238451.jpg?v=1786626650","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780702238451","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
