{"product_id":"monadmonadock-karen-donovan-9798985620658","title":"Monad+Monadnock","description":"Donovan's clever, razor-sharp poems foreground a contemporary absurdity so ubiquitous that it often goes unnoticed. Donovan's observations about our \"crazy-ass\" self-involved world, emerging from her often hilarious focus on the \"vexatious anticlimax\" of our moment, are framed by a subtle exploration of Leibniz's metaphysical yet scientific Monad and Emerson's physical yet transcendental Mount Monadnock. This book is a mind-stretching tour de force, as entertaining as it is thought provoking.\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eMonad + Monadnock\u003c\/em\u003e, Karen Donovan balances a poet's concerns with those of the itinerant philosopher. Witty and esoteric, these poems - peppered with toast and pixels, deviled eggs and eternity - leap line by line from reverence to irreverence. From oak leaves to sweeping eternities, Donovan's manifold sensibility is a mysterious and exciting place to be - one where \"creation is singing\" through her poetry and equations taste \"like lace.\" -Tina Cane, author of \u003cem\u003eBody of Work\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eYear of the Murder Hornet\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karen Donovan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8985620657\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798985620658\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wet Cement Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 86\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 4.25w x 0.21d","brand":"Karen Donovan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072424177919,"sku":"9798985620658","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6d596f59-da0e-4561-9ce5-0cc79fed9ff9.jpg?v=1685441881","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/monadmonadock-karen-donovan-9798985620658","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
