This second volume of poems from Fitterman's award-winning \u003ci\u003eMetropolis\u003c\/i\u003e project ranges far and wide over the cultural geography, from Milton to Black Mountain to conceptual art to Objectivism to the Steve Miller Band to the Kootenay School of Writing and back again. In addition to Fitterman's solo explorations of poetic possibility, this volume of \u003ci\u003eMetropolis\u003c\/i\u003e also contains a section of \u003ci\u003eCedars Estates\u003c\/i\u003e, a visual poetic collaboration with designer\/artist Dirk Rowntree.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFitterman uses poetic form like a pro golfer uses clubs, carefully selecting his tools to address particular aesthetic challenges, propelling his sentences over obstacles in great singing arcs of words. This is a truly urbane poetry, fully cognizant of the aesthetic and political conversations that carry on around it, ready to engage with any serious argument. Generous, polyglot and full of possibilities, Book 2 of \u003ci\u003eMetropolis\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.36 x 8.24 x 4.34 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 19, 1998\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51771658010912,"sku":"9781552451045","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/4872064a6f751209d4476e7e8d6b0418.webp?v=1780390492","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/metropolis16-29-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
