{"product_id":"little-black-book-chad-frame-9781646628018","title":"Little Black Book","description":"These poems are both daring and precisely made. There is powerful longing here, and, without a carefully measured restraint, this emotive force could derail the poems, but they remain richly evocative and ask for the reader to be present in numerous and surprising ways.\u003cstrong\u003e-Tim Seibles\u003c\/strong\u003e, Poet Laureate Emeritus of Virginia\u003cbr\u003eWe look for truth in poetry; but some poets tell the truth better than others; and so we have Chad Frame's \u003cem\u003eLittle Black Book \u003c\/em\u003ewith lists\/poems of male lovers. Frame has the skill and talent to change circumstances and incidents to artistry, gifted with the authenticity we want in a poem. We tell our students, \"Be more like yourself, more and more each poem.\" Now we can just say, \"Read Chad Frame.\" He's not afraid of fear; he's not ashamed of shame. Plato talks of pleasure\/pain; and neuroscientists can now measure it; but nowhere do we know more its balance than in fine poetry. Part autobiography, almost novella-in-verse, we have characters, situations, and plot, elevated by craft and lyric to make poetry. Frame ends his book with the words 'this buoyant heart is yours'-We say \"ours, too.\" \u003cem\u003eLittle Black Book\u003c\/em\u003e moves poetry forward.\u003cstrong\u003e-Grace Cavalieri\u003c\/strong\u003e, Poet Laureate of Maryland\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chad Frame\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1646628012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781646628018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Finishing Line Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.31d","brand":"Chad Frame","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054303473919,"sku":"9781646628018","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d4a5a749-328b-4af4-bf76-f208eabf9c33.jpg?v=1685029174","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/little-black-book-chad-frame-9781646628018","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
