{"product_id":"dwelling-places-david-ferry-9780226244792","title":"Dwelling Places: Poems and Translations","description":"Hailed as one of the best contemporary poets writing in the English language, David Ferry meditates unsentimentally, in many of these powerful and often wrenching poems, on the dispossession of people afflicted by madness, homelessness, or other forms of \"wildness.\" The voices in all the poems in this book demonstrate how, for each of us, there is no certain dwelling place. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"David Ferry's \u003ci\u003eDwelling Places\u003c\/i\u003e is a marvelous, extremely moving book, distinguished by Ferry's characteristic formal virtuosity, extraordinarily fresh and 'inner' translations, and a kind of driven anguished rage at both the social conditions in which human beings have to live and the mysteriously unchangeable tragedies of individual human lives. The translations amplify and deepen the contemporary scenes. I feel that in the future this will be perceived as a great book.\"--Frank Bidart \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Not until I had read \u003ci\u003eDwelling Places\u003c\/i\u003e several times did I see how ingeniously resourceful, ambitious, and admirably modest a book David Ferry has made.\"--\u003ci\u003eBoston Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Ferry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226244792\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226244792\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 69\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.48h x 5.51w x 0.29d","brand":"David Ferry","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056653168895,"sku":"9780226244792","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3c79376c-4099-4047-bc2d-783412c96fc6.jpg?v=1685042517","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dwelling-places-david-ferry-9780226244792","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
