The collection includes poems from Papageorgiou’s last three book-length works as well as a new poetic sequence, “The Wall Game.”\u003cbr\u003eThe title of the new poem comes from a barbaric little game played by students at Eton, notable for the rigidity of its rules, the ferocity of its play, and the fact that almost no one ever wins or--across decades--even scores. In Papageorgiou’s poems, this maddening, elliptical game serves as the metaphor for a similarly elliptical meditation on desire, despair, and aging. Taken together, this collection of new and older work constitutes a poetic autobiography of sorts reminiscent of the work of Lorine Niedecker, Fanny Howe, and Anne Carson.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52158930387173,"sku":"NP9798896231479","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9798896231479.jpg?v=1787613859","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/the-wall-game-isbn-9798896231479","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
