{"product_id":"earnest-earnest-eleanor-boudreau-9780822966302","title":"Earnest, Earnest?: Poems","description":"In \u003ci\u003eEarnest, Earnest?\u003c\/i\u003e, the speaker, Eleanor, writes postcards to her on-again-off-again lover, Earnest. The fact that her lover's name is Earnest and that their relationship is fraught, raises questions of sincerity and irony, and whether both can be present at the same time. While Earnest can be read literally as Eleanor's lover, he is best understood as another side of the poet's self. The ambiguity at play in \u003ci\u003eEarnest, Earnest\u003c\/i\u003e? is embodied in the form of the \"Earnest Postcards\" that structure the book--these postcards are experimental in their use of images and formal in their dialogue with the sonnet. Thus, \u003ci\u003eEarnest, Earnest?\u003c\/i\u003e is a question of tone, address, and form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eleanor Boudreau\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822966301\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822966302\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 09\/08\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 62\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.90w x 0.30d","brand":"Eleanor Boudreau","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988984398079,"sku":"9780822966302","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c964f04f-5fba-4ad9-82a0-83b44c67a746.jpg?v=1683297283","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/earnest-earnest-eleanor-boudreau-9780822966302","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
