{"product_id":"skandalon-terry-hummer-9780807157411","title":"Skandalon: Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Christian theology, a skandalon is a distraction from grace, a maze of error where we wander pointlessly, wasting our lives. To the ancient Greeks, a skandalon was the trigger of a trap. T. R. Hummer's labyrinthine new collection encompasses these meanings and more, as its poems take various paths -- some beguiling, some grotesque, some instructive, some opaque -- to unexpected destinations. Undergirding the collection is a series of progressive vignettes entitled \"Victims of the Wedding,\" which follows the quarrels and couplings of a human man and woman as well as the angel and demon who observe them. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSkandalon presents poems that consider the subtle, tragic, and ridiculous responses of creatures who lose themselves in a world they had wrongly imagined to be their own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Terry Hummer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807157414\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807157411\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LSU Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/11\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.80w x 0.30d","brand":"Terry Hummer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926295511295,"sku":"9780807157411","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_31a5e858-eed9-48be-8589-7440d68d9a26.jpg?v=1681082278","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/skandalon-terry-hummer-9780807157411","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
