{"product_id":"what-language-for-prophets-and-or-loss","title":"What Language for Prophets And\/Or Loss","description":"Jerome McGann's work is a pataparodic reflection on William Blake's visionary Menippean satire The Marriage and Heaven and Hell, where Blake skewered the thought and practice of his period's secular and sacred Enlightenments. Having grown a public address more blind and indigent than even Blake imagined, contemporary regimes of our Modernity are here called to an outrageous comic accounting staged as a set of relentless language games and prosepoetic Nonsense. A gallery of arresting never-neverland illuminations by the artist Arthur Kennickell, nearly all -- but, significantly, not all -- created specifically for this work, open fresh doors of perception into what Blake's and McGann's works set out to do. What Language for Prophets and\/or Loss is a more synoptic act of \" transubstantiation\" than the selections that appeared last year in McGann's Transubstantiations, also published by Station Hill Press.","brand":"Jerome McGann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44835469066282,"sku":"9781581772470","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/0891\/6522\/files\/imageloader_dc80bbd7-8184-4119-a7f1-a865ab8ec26f.jpg?v=1789321114","url":"https:\/\/thepoetryshop.com\/products\/what-language-for-prophets-and-or-loss","provider":"The Poetry Shop LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
