The work features a series of verses that explore themes of artistic introspection and the tension between reality and expression. The book includes thoughtful epigraphs from Theodor Adorno and Bridget Riley, framing the poet's interrogation of traditional forms and the purpose of art in contemporary society. This 2019 publication follows Cole's previous literary contributions to the field of contemporary Canadian poetry, offering readers a complex and introspective exploration of creative identity. The volume is meticulously designed by Julie Scriver, incorporating inspiration from Bridget Riley, and represents a significant addition to the landscape of modern verse, challenging readers to question the boundaries of their own aesthetic reliance and cultural assumptions.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/","Literature",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/soft-power/432360/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/soft-power/432360.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"pop
