{"product_id":"dark-would-the-missing-person-liz-waldner-9780820323916","title":"Dark Would (the missing person)","description":"A philosophical, tough, and often funny inquiry into twenty-first-century selfhood, Liz Waldner's new collection of poems takes shape in the shadow of Dante's \"dark wood.\" \u003ci\u003eDark Would (the missing person)\u003c\/i\u003e is quirky. It's audaciously American, out of the Dickinson house. Waldner uses short, quick syntactical units that swerve rather than build up an architecture of ideas through sequential juxtaposition. She also has, like Dickinson, a canny, carnal, specifying diction. Her poems are sonorous, sly, and sexy. They are political in their address of gender through reference to pop songs, poems, and analyses of personal experiences. The resulting wry permutations of will and desire alternately leaf and hew an American \"dark wood.\" The pages and paths turn to and through the kinds of lostness and foundness to which rootlessness gives rise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Liz Waldner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820323918\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820323916\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/03\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.64w x 0.37d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePW Notes and Reprints\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/17\/2002 pg. 61\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2002 pg. 66\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/17\/2002","brand":"Liz Waldner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926503555327,"sku":"9780820323916","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_0b04c5cd-dd79-4a9e-b8f2-ea358127174b.jpg?v=1681083440","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dark-would-the-missing-person-liz-waldner-9780820323916","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
