{"product_id":"our-foreigner-nance-van-winckel-9781892184085","title":"Our Foreigner","description":"Poetry. Poems funny, stark, spot-on and utterly beautiful comprise her collection, OUR FOREIGNER, a brilliant and dark comedy. This is Betsy Sholl's apt description for the poetry of Nance Van Winckel, one of the Northwest's foremost poets and writers, and her latest release--from The Pacific Coast Poetry Series\/Beyond Baroque Books. Van Winckel's own relatives traveled west enduring the hardship and tests of character that confronted those who made such treks in the 1800's. OUR FOREIGNER explores, among other conditions and anomalies, ideas of journey, progress and regress, travel both physical and psychological. A variety of voices populate this collection, speakers from the past, or bright, sassy, contemporary folks talking as if all they have to do is open their mouths and out flies poetry. They manage, these poems, to be at once plain-speaking and brainy, lucid and deeply mysterious.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nance Van Winckel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1892184087\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781892184085\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Beyond Baroque Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/20\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 103\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.25d","brand":"Nance Van Winckel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939086270719,"sku":"9781892184085","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c28121f4-6433-40d3-aceb-cd44e90ff2d6.jpg?v=1681439414","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/our-foreigner-nance-van-winckel-9781892184085","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
