{"product_id":"9781770411647","title":"Previously Feared Darkness","description":"\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePreviously Feared Darkness\u003c\/i\u003e picks up and pulls at the vibrant threads of Robert Priest’s last collection, \u003ci\u003eReading the Bible Backwards\u003c\/i\u003e. One strand leads, with unabashed candour and elegance, through the author’s love life; another, through fields of praise; a third experiments with automated metaphors and delivers a challenging new selection of mashups that Priest calls meme splices. A fourth thread rekindles the author’s love of the prose poem to produce a suite of strange tales, bizarre playlets, and phonetic modifications. And, for those whose cry is “brevity forever,” the micro-poems Priest collects are numerous and brilliant. Previously Feared Darkness consorts with forms and subject matter to present the work of a master getting deep and nasty and hilarious with the best of them.","brand":"ECW Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47038782341360,"sku":"9781770411647","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781770411647_p0.jpg?v=1763707915","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781770411647","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
