{"product_id":"beneath-simon-perril-9781848614406","title":"Beneath","description":"Simon Perril's new collection is the twin to his Archilochus on the Moon, and continues his exploration of the tangled roots of ancient Greek lyric. A nekyia is an underworld story preserving a rite from classical antiquity wherein the living call up the dead, and are questioned about the future. Neobulé was the bride-to-be of the first lyric poet, Archilochus-until her father inexplicably called it off and incurred the most infamous poetic wrath in literary history. The soldier-poet's scurrilous response shamed the entire family into committing suicide. \"Beneath\" tracks Neobulé's arrival in Hades; and voices her gradual understanding of shadehood. She may be \"a chorus of gasps \/ no lyre can pluck\", but can still recall being \"more shade above \/ in the mud-brick groves \/ of kitchens\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon Perril\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848614403\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848614406\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shearsman Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.24d","brand":"Simon Perril","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437112668415,"sku":"9781848614406","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9030cf14-113b-469c-9fbd-ab42fcedbf67.jpg?v=1777159946","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beneath-simon-perril-9781848614406","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
