{"product_id":"9781917617833","title":"Limbo - the fourth canticle","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLimbo - The Fourth Canticle\u003c\/em\u003e by John Kinsella is a long poem in thirty-four cantos, each accompanied by a sub-canto and a subscript, structured as a sustained meditation on suspension: ecological, political, spiritual, and creative. Positioning itself as a coda to Kinsella's earlier Divine Comedy, the work inhabits limbo not as a theological abstraction but as a condition of the present, a state of insufficient action and ongoing complicity, mapped onto the wheatbelt of Western Australia and its surrounding political realities. Illegal land-clearing, mining extraction, colonial inheritance, and the failures of capitalist liberal conscience run through the cantos alongside close attention to birdlife, reptiles, insects, and the seasonal rhythms of a specific place. Throughout, Kinsella refuses consolation or resolution, maintaining a voice that is self-implicating, politically alert, and formally undeceived about poetry's limits and its necessity. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broken Sleep Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48078516388081,"sku":"9781917617833","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781917617833_p0.jpg?v=1776980686","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781917617833","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
