{"product_id":"lilac-cigarette-in-a-wish-robin-magowan-9781570032707","title":"Lilac Cigarette in a Wish Cathedral","description":"\u003cp\u003eRobin Magowan's poems in Lilac Cigarette in a \u003ci\u003eWish Cathedral\u003c\/i\u003e represent a poetry of heightened awarenesses and high-edge experiences caught on the run. Seized from a miniaturist's perspective, the subjects are privileged moments: a child mat-riding on a Red Flag day; birds in a tropical forest; Greek sailors dancing; a trek in the Himalayas; drug overdoses during an affair with a terrorist dragon lady; personal experiences that combine into an oeuvre and a life. Magowan's aim is to take the reader inside, as far as possible, using an instinctive notation to register his fascination with sensation, movement, and color. If it is mysticism--an awakening to the now--it is one that is happening line by line, and at times letter by letter, in a form that is lyrical, rhythm driven, and highly intensified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robin Magowan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 157003270X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781570032707\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of South Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 69\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.42h x 5.48w x 0.32d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/1998 pg. 529","brand":"Robin Magowan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44213230960895,"sku":"9781570032707","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9d29a13e-63f7-464d-bc52-069cf88688a3.jpg?v=1692112759","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lilac-cigarette-in-a-wish-robin-magowan-9781570032707","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
