His major themes--love, friendship, desire, time and memory, and, above all, the ever-present city--emerge in an atmosphere where dream and reality mingle on equal terms. These seventy-seven poems range from graphic, sensuous shorter pieces to edgy stream-of-consciousness prose poems to longer, more contemplative works such as \"While She's Gone,\" an eerie tour de force of longing over a departed lover. \u003cb\u003eVoid of Course\u003c\/b\u003e establishes that Carroll's power and purity of vision are stronger than ever.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":62250937647491,"sku":"9780140589092","price":27.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9780140589092.jpg?v=1785419398","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/void-of-course-9780140589092","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
