Here, among the major poems of Beautiful False Things, the stand-up comic Larry Sunrise of \"Funny Bones\" duels with death in Florida; in \"Oedipus Host,\" Oedipus arrives from his millennia-long trek to host a TV talk show; and the plucky feminist heroine of \"Heavenly Muse\" visits yet another barely worthy male poet. In the tragicomic title poem, \"translation\" comes to stand for the dilemmas of expression in a culture that sucks up language and spews it back.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grove Press \/ Atlantic Monthly Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49693256876280,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":25.45,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9780802136572-1.jpg?v=1785364439","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/products\/9780802136572","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
