In an introductory note, he provides a backdrop for the collection, which moves from old life to new. McClure's work bursts forth from the matrix of the physical and spiritual. \"Poetry is one of the edges of consciousness,\" he asserts. \"And consciousness is a real thing like the hoof of a deer or the smell of a bush of blackberries at the roadside in the sun.\" In the first section of \u003cem\u003eRebel Lions\u003c\/em\u003e, \"Old Flames,\" the poems range from the realistic (\"Awakening and Recalling a Summer Hike\") to the metaphorical (\"The Silken Stitching\"), as the poet addresses a life on the verge of transformation. The second section, \"Rose Rain,\" exults in a life transformed through love's alchemy. \u003cem\u003eRebel Lions\u003c\/em\u003e closes with \"New Brain,\" poems affirming the freedom of all humankind and matter in the eternal now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRebel Lions, Michael McClure's first book of poetry since the retrospective Selected Poems, spans a decade of profound personal change and poetic evolution for the author.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.39 x 7.99 x 5.41 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 17, 1991\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42722599370815,"sku":"9780811211642","price":17.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/afe0e0dde8129b9759e4c7b609fbe8dd.webp?v=1765096301","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/rebel-lions-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
