Although to talk of \"inventing\" the wilderness seems paradoxical, the book seeks to reclaim the etymological root of \"invention\" as a \"venturing in.\" To invent a wilderness is to go inward by way of attentive engagement in the natural world, to affirm and liberate imaginative expression as no mere mirror of nature, but a force of it. At times meditative and melancholic, though also vibrant and full of life, \u003ci\u003eInvention of the Wilderness\u003c\/i\u003e proposes an embodied and reflective way of being in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBruce Bond \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of thirty books including, most recently, \u003ci\u003e Behemoth, The Calling, \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Patmos.\u003c\/i\u003e His work has appeared in numerous journals and anthologies, including seven editions of \u003ci\u003eBest American Poetry.\u003c\/i\u003e He is the Regents Emeritus Professor of English at the University of North Texas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 84\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.19 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 12, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51760716153120,"sku":"9780807177969","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/64351b95ef5f96e83a59425fd85c52a5.webp?v=1780187849","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/invention-of-the-wilderness-poems-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
