So objects--rendered in cinematic detail--fill these poems. A desk, a mailbox, a house delivering its own autobiography. Hospitals: the patients who have passed through, the buildings that have crumbled. And, in a longer view, the people who survive in what they left behind: Thom Gunn, Charles Dickens, and the pre-Columbian architects who designed the great earthworks of Ohio two thousand years ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSongs, ephemeral by nature but infinitely repeatable, run throughout the collection. \"What did they tell me, all those years?\" Bogen writes. \u003cem\u003eImmediate Song\u003c\/em\u003e offers us a retrospective glance that is at once contemplative and joyous, carefully shaped but flush with sensuous observation: a paean to what is both universal and fleeting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Don Bogen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1571314814\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781571314819\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Milkweed Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Don Bogen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939703030015,"sku":"9781571314819","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_bc26a605-a8c1-4dca-94f8-7b162909e459.jpg?v=1681443019","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/immediate-song-don-bogen-9781571314819","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
