{"product_id":"one-summer-evening-at-the-peter-campion-9780226737119","title":"One Summer Evening at the Falls","description":"The poems in this collection capture the fantastic feeling of falling in love, all while keeping eyes on its lifecycles of crashing aftermaths, lingering regrets, guilt, and renewal. Peter Campion brings us to a series of scenes--on the damp patio, in the darkroom, and along the interstate--where we find familiar characters, lovers, and strangers. In the title poem, he takes us to the falls, where people and passions mix amid the sticky hanging mists: \u003cbr\u003e That charge of summer nights, that edge, like everyone's checking \u003cbr\u003e everyone out. Lingering a moment in the crowd \u003cbr\u003e gathered to watch the rush and crash and let the mist \u003cbr\u003e drift upward to our faces, I'm here: the future feels \u003cbr\u003e open again. Even alone tonight--still: open. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Campion's poems introduce us to a range of people, all of whom are rendered with distinctiveness and intimacy. Their voices proliferate through the collection, with lyric folding into speech, autobiography becoming dramatic monologue, and casual storytelling taking on a ritualistic intensity. The poems in \u003ci\u003eOne Summer Evening at the Falls \u003c\/i\u003eshow how each character and each moment can be worthy of love and that this love both undoes us and makes us who we are. In narrative and lyric, in formal verse and free, Campion brings contemporary playfulness together with his classical talent to create this far-reaching and tender collection. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Campion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022673711X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226737119\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/02\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.50w x 0.30d","brand":"Peter Campion","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987573637375,"sku":"9780226737119","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3bba2a40-5fac-4a67-9490-dfda2d84fce4.jpg?v=1683289795","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/one-summer-evening-at-the-peter-campion-9780226737119","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
