{"product_id":"news-from-afar-richard-parker-9781848613645","title":"News from Afar: Ezra Pound and Some Contemporary British Poetries","description":"\"This is a book that travels that road, on the lookout for the signs that speak most strongly to the now. Merciless war against mediocrity, sharpest eye and ear for syntax, awareness of culture in its relation to politics, use of translation as workshop for change, suspension of limits between prose and poetry, opening of poetry to what its bourgeois practice excludes: here is the generic Pound, present to contemporary needs. The struggle for a practice of resistance, discrimination of antagonisms, with all the resources poetry is capable of, here is the Pound alive in current poetry. Pound is at the core. There is, as this book shows, no way round that.\" -William Rowe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Parker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848613644\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848613645\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shearsman Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.74d","brand":"Richard Parker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46217035940095,"sku":"9781848613645","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_838a3c8d-fff1-404c-9f3b-7962b89f9dbe.jpg?v=1728514089","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/news-from-afar-richard-parker-9781848613645","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
