We watch as a private mind, devoted to its privacy, is laid out on the page and abstracted to become a public revelation. Building an aesthetic of compressed interiority, the speaker's tension is clear--\"From one lung, I tell the truth. \/ From the other lung, I lie.\" Through intimate and meticulous poems, Public Abstract explores the operations of form, sewn together, and the failings of form, ripped apart. Crumbling under its own weight and folderol, form becomes an act of invention and in Huffman's expert hands, revision becomes a genre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jane Huffman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8987585204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798987585207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e American Poetry Review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.50w x 1.50d","brand":"Jane Huffman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44227681190143,"sku":"9798987585207","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3372ef88-5f9d-402b-9cca-5b604b2c876a.jpg?v=1692809994","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/public-abstract-jane-huffman-9798987585207","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
