{"product_id":"selected-poems-of-maria-luise-william-ruleman-9780692479681","title":"Selected Poems of Maria Luise Weissmann","description":"When Munich-based poet Maria Luise Weissmann (1899-1929) died unexpectedly at the age of thirty, her peers on the German literary scene knew that the world had lost a poet of great promise-and one whose passing gave as much cause for grief, Otto Heuschele noted, as the recent death of Hugo von Hofmannsthal. Influenced by Hofmannsthal and Rilke both, Weissmann spoke with a voice that also recalled-in its formal restraint yet vulnerable candor-that of her American contemporary Edna St. Vincent Millay, though one distinctively her own. Her subjects were wide-ranging-saints, prophets, animals wild and domestic, characters from classic literature such as Don Quixote and Robinson Crusoe, the modern city, nature, and love-and her treatment of them was, by turns, solemn, witty, and profound. This volume provides, for the very first time, a substantial offering of her poems in an English version.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Ruleman, Maria Luise Weissmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0692479686\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780692479681\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cedar Springs Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 68\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.14d","brand":"William Ruleman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44860099920127,"sku":"9780692479681","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1c0081ce-1c4a-4ab7-a6b5-21b3442d48e0.jpg?v=1709135396","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/selected-poems-of-maria-luise-william-ruleman-9780692479681","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
