{"product_id":"memorial-alice-oswald-9780393347272","title":"Memorial: A Version of Homer's Iliad","description":"In this daring new work, the poet Alice Oswald strips away the narrative of the \u003cem\u003eIliad\u003c\/em\u003e--the anger of Achilles, the story of Helen--in favor of attending to its atmospheres: the extended similes that bring so much of the natural order into the poem and the corresponding litany of the war-dead, most of whom are little more than names but each of whom lives and dies unforgettably and unforgotten in the copious retrospect of Homer's glance. The resulting poem is a war memorial and a profoundly responsive work that gives new voice to Homer's level-voiced version of the world. Through a mix of narrative and musical repetition, the sequence becomes a meditation on the loss of human life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alice Oswald\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393347273\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393347272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
