{"product_id":"selected-poems-robert-pinsky-9780374533168","title":"Selected Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003eIntense verbal music with a jazz feeling; invention against the grain of expectation; intelligence racing among materials with the variety of a busy street--these have been the qualities of Robert Pinsky's work since his first book, \u003ci\u003eSadness and Happiness \u003c\/i\u003e(1975), celebrated for setting a new direction in American poetry. At that time, responding to a question about that book, Pinsky said: \"I would like to write a poetry which could contain every kind of thing, while keeping all the excitement of poetry.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThat ambition was realized in a new way with each of his books, including the book-length personal monologue \u003ci\u003eAn Explanation of America\u003c\/i\u003e; the transformed autobiography of \u003ci\u003eHistory of My Heart\u003c\/i\u003e; the bestselling translation \u003ci\u003eThe Inferno of Dante\u003c\/i\u003e; and, most recently, the savage, inventive \u003ci\u003eGulf Music\u003c\/i\u003e. That variety and renewal are represented in this brilliantly chosen volume.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Pinsky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0374533164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374533168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Straus and Giroux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/27\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.06w x 0.65d","brand":"Robert Pinsky","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992964661503,"sku":"9780374533168","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ac1e6a48-c261-4e44-9e84-97961e4b8e1c.jpg?v=1683321779","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/selected-poems-robert-pinsky-9780374533168","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
