{"product_id":"elegy-on-toy-piano-dean-young-9780822958727","title":"Elegy On Toy Piano","description":"In Elegy on Toy Piano, Dean Young's sixth book of poems, elegiac necessity finds itself next to goofy celebration. Daffy Duck enters the Valley of the Eternals. Faulkner and bell-bottoms cling to beauty's evanescence. Even in single poems, Young's tone and style vary. No one feeling or idea takes precedence over another, and their simultaneity is frequently revealed; sadness may throw a squirrelly shadow, joy can find itself dressed in mourning black. As in the agitated \\u0022Whirlpool Suite\\u0022: \\u0022Pain \/ and pleasure are two signals carried \/ over one phoneline.\\u0022 In taking up subjects as slight as the examination of a signature or a true\/false test, and as pressing as the death of friends, Young's poems embrace the duplicity of feeling, the malleability of perception, and the truth telling of wordplay.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dean Young\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822958724\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822958727\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 01\/28\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.36h x 5.30w x 0.32d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/24\/2005 pg. 236","brand":"Dean Young","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980625707263,"sku":"9780822958727","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ac4b7b8d-6aa4-4899-947a-4798b0f021b2.jpg?v=1683250984","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/elegy-on-toy-piano-dean-young-9780822958727","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
