{"product_id":"songs-of-imperfection-stanley-moss-9780856463662","title":"Songs of Imperfection","description":"Many tensions are at work in the playfully unconstrained poems of Stanley Moss: ordinary and mythical lives, the political and the personal, high art and low comedy intermingle, achieving an effect that is often surreal and always striking. \u003ci\u003eHere God and Death\u003c\/i\u003e are not matters for detached speculation but constant and vivid presences, whether centre-stage or waiting in the wings. An engagement with history is brought to bear on legend and on current affairs: a poem addressing 9\/11 summons up the figure of Walt Whitman, whose exuberance and resolute faith in humanity Moss echoes throughout the book. Serious and optimistic, light and dark, \u003ci\u003eSongs of Imperfection \u003c\/i\u003eis an uplifting and celebratory book. Stanley Moss was born in New York City. He was educated at Trinity College and Yale University. He makes his living as a private art dealer, largely in Spanish and Italian old masters, and is the publisher and editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Sheep Meadow Press\u003c\/i\u003e, a non-profit press devoted to poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanley Moss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0856463663\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780856463662\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anvil Press Poetry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.24h x 6.14w x 0.30d","brand":"Stanley Moss","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47757850509567,"sku":"9780856463662","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8f60a033-a8cd-4e33-b9d1-25e37976be0d.jpg?v=1765510759","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/songs-of-imperfection-stanley-moss-9780856463662","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
