And what does art-making demand of us, especially as apocalypse looms?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its surprising insights, \u003cem\u003eHarbinger\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003ethe latest book from acclaimed poet Shelley Puhak, shows us the reality of the constantly evolving and unstable self, a portrait of the artist as fragmentary, impressionable, and always in flux.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.24 x 8.74 x 5.75 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 18, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51766259417376,"sku":"9780063233966","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/2394e97da80158e4a602894668af5233.webp?v=1780288565","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/harbinger-poems-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
