In his effort to get at the presence lying beneath his elbow, Ponge charts out a space of silent consolation that lies beyond (and challenges) scientific objectivity and poetic transport. This is one of Ponge's most personal, overlooked, and--because it was the project he was working on when he died--his least processed works. It reveals the personal struggle Ponge engaged in throughout all of his writing, a hesitant uncertainty he usually pared away from his published texts that is at touching opposition to the manufactured, \"durable mother\" of the table on and of which he here writes.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Wakefield Press","offers":[{"title":"The Table | Francis Ponge | Paperback | 9781939663245 | New | Poetry 1605968","offer_id":49468569518232,"sku":"1605968","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61wbIilBi5L.jpg?v=1784045014","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/the-table","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
