{"product_id":"overtime-joseph-millar-9780887485749","title":"Overtime","description":"Overtime, Joseph Millar's first book of poetry, both traditionally elegiac and formally unexpected--aims at the overlap between art and the everyday grind of work and single fatherhood. Here we find poems of loss and grief, alongside poems of working-class celebration that hum with the sound of wind in the ladder racks and miles of telephone wire. Overtime is a book of poetry whose chief concern is not art for its own sake but rather the artistic visions the everyday struggles of life provide when paid the right attention. A poet deeply sunk into William Carlos Williams' American Grain, Millar grounds his poems in the details and small mysteries of everyday life and labor. Whether the speaker is murmuring a song to the beloved in poems like \"Love Pirates\" or \"Listener,\" imagining the travails of a Native American war chief in \"Sitting Bull in Canada,\" or considering his own inevitable death in \"Heart Attack,\" Millar tells a story plainly, moving from lyric to narrative and back again in language charged with duende and force. As Yusef Komunyakaa has written, \"Millar is a poet we can believe.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Millar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 088748574X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780887485749\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Carnegie-Mellon University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/03\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 5.40w x 0.20d","brand":"Joseph Millar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447810666751,"sku":"9780887485749","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bc65ddbc-eb71-4e40-b4df-413b5d2e50d1.jpg?v=1777234971","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/overtime-joseph-millar-9780887485749","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
