{"product_id":"quarter-notes-charles-wright-9780472096046","title":"Quarter Notes: Improvisations and Interviews","description":"\u003ci\u003eQuarter Notes\u003c\/i\u003e harvests recent reviews, essays, memoirs, and interviews by acclaimed poet Charles Wright. Wright uses creative variations on the form of the linear essay including interviews with himself as interviewee, correspondence (with Charles Simic), and experimentation with what he calls Improvisations \"non- linear associational storylines\". The book's short, staccato-like bursts add up to much more than the sum of their parts. \u003cbr\u003eThis satisfying collection includes reminiscences and meditations on the details of memory and what it means to visit the past; the vices of titleism and the hydrosyllabic foot in poetry; a comparison of poems and journeys; appreciation of poets Donald Justice and John Crow Ransom; an attempt to define \"image\"; discussions of the current state of poetry; and various highlights from the Charles Wright Literary Festival. \u003cbr\u003eCharles Wright's books of poetry include \u003ci\u003eThe World of the Ten Thousand Things\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCountry Music: Selected Early Poems\u003c\/i\u003e. He received the 1993 Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize and the 1992 Award of Merit Medal from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He is Souder Family Professor of English, University of Virginia. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Wright\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0472096044\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472096046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.31h x 5.69w x 0.93d","brand":"Charles Wright","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48517323653375,"sku":"9780472096046","price":74.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_925af5dd-7126-4b6b-848e-7804a43172c2.jpg?v=1778731352","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/quarter-notes-charles-wright-9780472096046","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
