A factory outlet sells designer human parts at cut-rate prices, a midlife crisis becomes a cleansing ritual, a chocolate-chip pancake stands accused at trial, and the predatory voice of anorexia speaks to a transfixed audience.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn descending the rabbit hole of this wildly imaginative collection, we find ourselves amid a field of engagement where destructive ideals of beauty, politics, art, romantic love, and spirituality are ambushed by roguish parody, acerbic satire, life-affirming laughter, and a hard-won pragmatism. And while Warner's trademark playfulness and formal ingenuity remain intact, his classic arms-length objectivity gives ground to a private and autobiographical directness of style often evaded in his earlier work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003ePerfection\u003c\/i\u003e, where death is certain and certainty is hell-bent on death, Warner refuses to rest on his laurels, continuing to build on his reputation as one of the most respected voices in Canadian poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"icehouse poetry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65420103385437,"sku":null,"price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/9780864926838","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
