{"product_id":"shapely-jack-veasey-9780922558735","title":"Shapely: Selected Formal Poems","description":"This eleventh collection of Jack Veasey's poetry spotlights a lesser-known aspect of the work of this Pennsylvania poet. Known as a chronicler of urban working-class life, and described by FactSheet 5 as \"blunt, cutting narratives that make you wonder how we can possibly accept things as they are,\" Veasey gains even more power in the surprising vein of poems in foxed forms. Exploring formal poetic forms since the early 1980s, Veasey found working in sonnets and other forms proved ideal for exploring a far greater range of subjects, some that had been, for him, \"too big to tackle.\" This collection gathers the best of the poet's works in form. Some are hilarious, some dark and disturbing, some poignant and touching: all have a clarity and striking musicality not found much in contemporary poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack Veasey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0922558736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780922558735\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Poet's Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/24\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.31d","brand":"Jack Veasey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48441386598655,"sku":"9780922558735","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cf3eec9e-8e7e-44f1-899a-08dec704ddcb.jpg?v=1777190564","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shapely-jack-veasey-9780922558735","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
