{"product_id":"split-the-stick-mac-wellman-9781931824460","title":"Split the Stick: A Miniaturist-Divan","description":"\u003cp\u003eMac Wellman associates his poetry with nonsense. But his new book \u003ci\u003eSplit the Stick\u003c\/i\u003e goes beyond the political nonsense of Victorianism and leaves language to float untethered. This book links poetry with the fantastic writings of Islam and the motifs of Persian miniatures. Based mostly on a rhythmic design with little else but a center margin to ground them, Wellman's designs leave the reader wondering what happened. Themes appear and disappear as his caravan of words winds through the landscape. Brilliant tropes flash in the darkness not to reappear for another 20 pages. Few poets have granted their work this much freedom and unfettered energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mac Wellman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1931824460\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781931824460\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Roof Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2012\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 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.30d","brand":"Mac Wellman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48587944919295,"sku":"9781931824460","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/split-the-stick-mac-wellman-9781931824460","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
