Daffy Duck enters the Valley of the Eternals. Faulkner and bell-bottoms cling to beauty's evanescence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEven in single poems, Young's tone and style vary. No one feeling or idea takes precedence over another, and their simultaneity is frequently revealed; sadness may throw a squirrelly shadow, joy can find itself dressed in mourning black. As in the agitated \"Whirlpool Suite\": \"Pain \/ and pleasure are two signals carried \/ over one phoneline.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn taking up subjects as slight as the examination of a signature or a true\/false test, and as pressing as the death of friends, Young's poems embrace the duplicity of feeling, the malleability of perception, and the truth telling of wordplay.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Pittsburgh Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47118915567856,"sku":"9780822991045","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780822991045_p0.jpg?v=1763757794","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780822991045","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
