{"product_id":"dailiness-mark-jarman-9781589881419","title":"Dailiness: Essays on Poetry","description":"\u003cb\u003e\"In this wonderful collection of essays, Mark Jarman explores with wit and passion the practice of poetry--of making it, of reading it, of living it. In his vivid analyses of works by Brooks, Boisseau, Donne, Herbert, Rukeyser and Twichell, among others, he explores how the poems and their authors negotiate time and mortality, faith and devotion. He also offers an intimate examination of his own gorgeous work and how it comes onto the page. A delight for readers and writers of poetry.\"--Margot Livesey, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Flight of Gemma Hardy\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMercury\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The essays in \u003ci\u003eDailiness\u003c\/i\u003e are about how a poet makes a poem. For Mark Jarman a poem results from a deliberate and conscious act. He is especially interested in the way human consciousness connects devotional prayer to poetry. In these essays he considers poems written millennia apart--from \u003ci\u003eGilgamesh\u003c\/i\u003e to George Herbert's work, from the poems of Robert Frost to those of Seamus Heaney, to his own recently-written poems and those of his contemporaries. As the poems celebrate the work of daily creation, they possess a religious aspect. In \u003ci\u003eDailiness\u003c\/i\u003e Jarman sheds light on how poems accomplish this work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Jarman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1589881419\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781589881419\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Dry Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/18\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 177\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.40w x 0.50d","brand":"Mark Jarman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44149615198463,"sku":"9781589881419","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ba8ec99b-e049-4cd2-a10d-e7dffa51b2b9.jpg?v=1688457631","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dailiness-mark-jarman-9781589881419","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
