520 1 $a"The Empire's Missing Links explores a world familiar to readers of Walid Bitar's previous work: a world where language is never simple, where the most ordinary words are weapons used against us in the play for private and public power. Resembling a series of unflinchingly ambivalent, and often jarringly enigmatic, history lessons, Bitar's new poems are rich in original observations about our contemporary unease."--BOOK JACKET.
