{"product_id":"folk-jacob-mcarthur-mooney-9780771059391","title":"Folk","description":"The two sections in Jacob McArthur Mooney's virtuoso collection - one rural in orientation, one urban - open an intricate conversation. Taking as its inciting incident the 1998 crash of Swissair Flight 111 off the coast of Nova Scotia, before moving to the neighbourhoods around Toronto's Pearson International Airport, \u003cb\u003eFolk\u003c\/b\u003e is an elaborately composed inquiry into the human need for frames, edges, borders, and a passionate probe of contemporary challenges to identity, whether of individual, neighbourhood, city, or nation. Mooney examines the fraught desire to align where we live with who we are, and asks how we can be at home on the compromised earth. This is poetry that poses crucial questions and refuses easy answers, as it builds a shimmering verbal structure that ventures \"beyond ownership or thought.\" Mooney's distinctive voice is seriously unsettling, deeply appealing, and answerable to our difficult times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacob McArthur Mooney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0771059396\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780771059391\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McClelland \u0026amp; Stewart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/29\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.40w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eQuill \u0026amp; Quire\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2011 pg. 32","brand":"Jacob McArthur Mooney","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48483664560383,"sku":"9780771059391","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_210ac856-919a-48f3-a18c-e01308fdd286.jpg?v=1778039865","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/folk-jacob-mcarthur-mooney-9780771059391","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
