{"product_id":"mockingbird-derek-webster-9781550654264","title":"Mockingbird","description":"In poetry that strikes a delicate balance between candour and lament, \u003ci\u003eMockingbird \u003c\/i\u003etracks the aftershocks of a failed marriage through a variety of self-portraits. Derek Webster's speakers itemize their regrets and fears while keeping sentimentality in check, the result is a first book of exceptional emotional power. Indeed, the distinctive and nuanced shapes of Webster's exquisitely controlled lyrics highlight the great achievement of his debut: a clipped, often aphoristic line-making stripped down to cold truths. The struggle isn't about being yourself, these poems argue, but about deciding which version of yourself to accept--and surviving the decision with equanimity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Derek Webster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1550654268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781550654264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Signal Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.30d","brand":"Derek Webster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485609373951,"sku":"9781550654264","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1b1f4ff0-4b25-4122-b525-1f30cb6fc1a6.jpg?v=1778050358","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mockingbird-derek-webster-9781550654264","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
