{"product_id":"selected-poems-thom-gunn-9780374258597","title":"Selected Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003eThom Gunn was an Elizabethan poet in modern guise, though there's nothing archaic, quaint, or sepia-toned about his poetry. His method was dispassionate and rigorous, uniquely well suited for making a poetic record of the tumultuous time in which he lived. Gunn's dozens of brilliantly realized poems about nature, friendship, literature, sexual love, and death are set against the ever-changing backdrop of San Francisco--the druggy, politically charged sixties and the plague years of AIDS in the eighties. Perhaps no contemporary poet was better equipped--by temperament, circumstance, or poetic gift--to engage the subjects of eros and thanatos than Thom Gunn. This new Selected Poems, edited and with an introduction by the poet August Kleinzahler, supplants the 1979 \u003ci\u003eSelected\u003c\/i\u003e, presenting more of the later work and providing a fuller retrospective account of the breadth and magnitude of Gunn's extraordinary achievement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thom Gunn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0374258597\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374258597\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Strauss \u0026amp; Giroux-3pl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.28h x 5.46w x 0.38d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2009 pg. 37\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/12\/2009 pg. 16\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/19\/2009 pg. 18\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/14\/2010 pg. 43","brand":"Thom Gunn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045145932031,"sku":"9780374258597","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cc0d9286-1ddb-4ea3-a911-8061e6b3f6eb.jpg?v=1684977005","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/selected-poems-thom-gunn-9780374258597","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
