{"product_id":"eating-the-colors-of-a-bernadette-mayer-9781581771350","title":"Eating the Colors of a Lineup of Words","description":"Normal0falsefalsefalseEN-USX-NONEX-NONEMicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Bernadette Mayer has been one of the most influential poets of the late 20th century and into the present. Her celebrated and revolutionary first books have long been out of print, available on the secondary market at high costs, by loan or via single-page facsimiles online at Eclipse. While these early books have played an oceanic role in the formation of generations of poets, they are difficult to secure, meaning that opportunities to read them, let along examine them critically, has proven challenging at best. Their operative life has been reduced to rumor and\/or brief excerpts, such as New Directions' \u003ci\u003eBernadette Mayer Reader\u003c\/i\u003e. This unfortunate gap in the continuum of American experimental poetry is bridged with the publication of \u003ci\u003eEating the Colors of a Lineup of Words: The First Books of Bernadette Mayer\u003c\/i\u003e. This multi-book collection includes \u003ci\u003eCeremony Latin; Red Book in Three Parts; Story; Moving; Poetry; Eruditio Ex Memoria; and The Golden Book of Words\u003c\/i\u003e. (\u003ci\u003eStudying Hunger Journals\u003c\/i\u003e, also from this period, was published in 2011 by Station Hill; \u003ci\u003eMemory\u003c\/i\u003e is forthcoming from Black Widow Press.) This new edition will be an important acquisition for students of contemporary poetry, scholars and libraries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bernadette Mayer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1581771355\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781581771350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Station Hill Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.01h x 7.07w x 0.95d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/05\/2015","brand":"Bernadette Mayer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075731615999,"sku":"9781581771350","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e6e01ddf-86f4-40f1-9a75-b252bee5ca4b.jpg?v=1685461108","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/eating-the-colors-of-a-bernadette-mayer-9781581771350","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
