{"product_id":"beautiful-false-things-irving-feldman-9780802136572","title":"Beautiful False Things: Poems","description":"This tenth collection of Irving Feldman's poems extends what readers and critics have long recognized as a body of work singular in its lyric, visionary, even prophetic intensity; its extravagant wit; its powerful storytelling; and its variety of voices and range of feeling - playful, tender, ardent, biting, enthralled. Here, among the major poems of Beautiful False Things, the stand-up comic Larry Sunrise of \"Funny Bones\" duels with death in Florida; in \"Oedipus Host,\" Oedipus arrives from his millennia-long trek to host a TV talk show; and the plucky feminist heroine of \"Heavenly Muse\" visits yet another barely worthy male poet. In the tragicomic title poem, \"translation\" comes to stand for the dilemmas of expression in a culture that sucks up language and spews it back.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Irving Feldman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802136575\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802136572\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/04\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.19h x 5.44w x 0.32d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/07\/2000 pg. 70","brand":"Irving Feldman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46372315660543,"sku":"9780802136572","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_828040b9-6f61-440f-966d-278f30b1f16b.jpg?v=1732725610","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beautiful-false-things-irving-feldman-9780802136572","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
