{"product_id":"outside-the-big-paned-windows-greg-maddigan-9781639800780","title":"Outside the Big-Paned Windows","description":"Beneath the scintillating surfaces of Greg Maddigan's poems, a reader encounters poems of faith and doubt, of a nation broken and people that may be made whole again only by love; these are poems driven by the \"whorling imprints of privation,\" as well as easeful bliss; by the urge to weep in our \"post solstice\" or linger with a beloved among coffee and birdsong or, in the brutally contrasting energies of this book, lash out by \"punching someone in the larynx.\" \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eOutside the Big-Paned Windows\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e explores love (domestic and erotic), sensuality (of the body and the natural world), and renewal. Even if darkness lurks just outside our windows, we must hope that in the harbor \"all the boats \/ are still floating.\" One of Maddigan's poems asserts that words matter; we should be glad for this faith. We should be glad for this book.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e -Tod Marshall, Washington State Poet Laureate (2016-2018), author of \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eBugle\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e (Canarium Press, 2014), \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Tangled Line\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e (Canarium Press, 2009), and \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eDare Say\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e (University of Georgia Press, 2002).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Greg Maddigan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1639800786\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781639800780\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kelsay Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 44\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.11d","brand":"Greg Maddigan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48439907713279,"sku":"9781639800780","price":16.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_91d2e5fb-5216-43a3-806d-08d07d69dd35.jpg?v=1777179715","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/outside-the-big-paned-windows-greg-maddigan-9781639800780","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
