Description

The Invention of the KaleidoscopeThe Invention of the Kaleidoscope is a book of poetic elegies that discuss failures: failures of love, both sexual and spiritual; failures of the body; failures of science, art and technology; failures of nature, imagination, memory and, most importantly, the failures inherent to elegiac narratives and our formal attempt to memoralize the lost. But the book also explores the necessity of such narratives, as well as the creative possibilities implicit

The Invention of the Kaleidoscope is a book of poetic elegies that discuss failures: failures of love, both sexual and spiritual; failures of the body; failures of science, art and technology; failures of nature, imagination, memory and, most importantly, the failures inherent to elegiac narratives and our formal attempt to memoralize the lost. But the book also explores the necessity of such narratives, as well as the creative possibilities implicit within the "failed elegy," all while examining the various ways that self-destruction can turn into self-preservation.

Nice Shirt, Excellent Color, Decent Fit
Size: 15"-15.5" Neck 34"-35" Sleeve, Color: Black
This shirt is a good looking shirt. Color is excellent. I got the 15-15 1/2 34x35 which I'd say fit in the 'classic' style (not slim) and was more like a 15 1/2 34x35. This is typical of a 'classic' fit shirt and is not a flaw. Color looks great. Nice solid black with seams well sewn. No loose threads. I've worn Van Heusen's for years, and this shirt lives up to the quality / fit that I'm accustomed to. If you're looking for a great shirt, this is an excellent option
