{"product_id":"bonfire-opera-danusha-lameris-9780822966050","title":"Bonfire Opera: Poems","description":"Sometimes the most compelling landscapes are the ones where worlds collide: where a desert meets the sea, a civilization, no-man's land. Here in \u003ci\u003eBonfire Opera, \u003c\/i\u003e grief and Eros grapple in the same domain. A bullet-hole through the heart, a house full of ripe persimmons, a ghost in a garden. Coyotes cry out on the hill, and lovers find themselves kissing, \"bee-stung, drunk\" in the middle of road. Here, the dust is holy, as is the dark, unknown. These are poems that praise the impossible, wild world, finding beauty in its wake. \u003cb\u003eExcerpt from \"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eBonfire Opera\"\u003c\/b\u003e In those days, there was a woman in our circle who was known, not only for her beauty, but also for taking off all her clothes and singing opera. And sure enough, as the night wore on and the stars emerged to stare at their reflections on the sea, and everyone had drunk a little wine, she began to disrobe, loose her great bosom and the tender belly, pale in the moonlight, the Viking hips, and to let her torn raiment fall to the sand as we looked up from the flames.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Danusha Lam駻is\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822966050\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822966050\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 6.00w x 0.30d","brand":"Danusha Lam駻is","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44055352312063,"sku":"9780822966050","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2955986d-1a7a-4628-a6e7-22776dba6a12.jpg?v=1685035266","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bonfire-opera-danusha-lameris-9780822966050","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
