Spare and intensely-felt, Valentine's poems present experience as only imperfectly graspable. This volume gathers together all of Valentine's published poems and includes a new collection, \"Door in the Mountain.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eValentine's poetry is as recognizable as the slant truth of a dream. She is a brave, unshirking poet who speaks with fire on the great subjects--love, and death, and the soul. Her images--strange, canny visions of the unknown self--clang with the authenticity of real experience. This is an urgent art that wants to heal what it touches, a poetry that wants to tell, intimately, the whole life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean Valentine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0819567132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780819567130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wesleyan University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.68h x 5.80w x 0.86d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/14\/2007 pg. 24","brand":"Jean Valentine","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049206837503,"sku":"9780819567130","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_34f9afa5-7622-4fa1-98fc-9e6813524a1b.jpg?v=1685000259","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/door-in-the-mountain-jean-valentine-9780819567130","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
