{"product_id":"louise-in-love-mary-jo-bang-9780802137609","title":"Louise in Love","description":"In this stunning new collection of poems, Mary Jo Bang jettisons the reader into the dreamlike world of Louise, a woman in love. With language delicate, smooth, and wryly funny, Louise is on a voyage without destination, traveling with a cast of enigmatic others, including her lover, Ham. Louise is as musical as she is mysterious and the reader is invited to listen. In her world, anything goes, provided it is breathtaking. Bang, whose first collection was the prize-winning Apology for Want, both parodies and pays homage to the lyric tradition, borrowing its lush music and dramatic structure to give new voice to the old concerns of the late Romantic poets. Louise in Love is a dramatic postmodern verse-novel with an eloquent free-floating narration. The poems, rife with literary allusion, take journeys to distant lands. And, like anyone on a voyage without a destination, they are endlessly questioning of the enigmatic world around them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Jo Bang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802137601\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802137609\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/14\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.50w x 0.23d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/06\/2000 pg. 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2000 pg. 1728\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2000 pg. 145\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2001 pg. 902\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/04\/2001 pg. 23\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/20\/2000","brand":"Mary Jo Bang","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990354362623,"sku":"9780802137609","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8b01540b-c42a-4fd0-aabe-8b7f2a5eada1.jpg?v=1683304217","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/louise-in-love-mary-jo-bang-9780802137609","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
