{"product_id":"lingo-clare-rossini-9781931968294","title":"Lingo","description":"In Foreword, the opening poem of Clare Rossini's new book, Lingo, the poet exclaims: Don't tell me the tongue's \/ Not a magical place. And who would argue the point after reading these poems in which the body and spirit of language bring such joy, from a toddler's garbled imitations to the ripe lines of Shakespeare? Whether in the Midwest or New England, in elegies or celebrations, Rossini takes comfort in the miracle of words, where the homely and exotic can flourish at the same time, like the thought of flamingoes in Minnesota (Rice County Soliloquy). Rossini treats both the human and the natural world with tenderness and good-hearted humor, her wit and compassion as impressive as the bravura of plainspoken poetry. Out of such grace come the graceful poems of Lingo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clare Rossini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1931968292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781931968294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Akron Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/30\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 95\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUniv PR Books for Public Libry\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2007 pg. 1 - Strongly Recommended","brand":"Clare Rossini","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46739062161663,"sku":"9781931968294","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c9dcfbb7-47e8-4096-8d81-24f2a583cd62.jpg?v=1743277090","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lingo-clare-rossini-9781931968294","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
