It is also an invitation to the reader to enter a specifically American poetry of the here-and-now. The accomplishment of \u003cem\u003eStrange Country \u003c\/em\u003ebegins with the exact measure of its line and its discovered idiom in the face of what may well be termed the present contradictions of a strange country. What sustains that accomplishment is a poet's attention to a 'wide-open polyphony' equal to the multiple realities of its subject.\" -- Kelvin Corcoran\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jon Thompson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848614829\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848614826\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shearsman Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.19d","brand":"Jon Thompson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44891007189247,"sku":"9781848614826","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_de229f24-3a77-4c75-b1cb-f9165b930ce5.jpg?v=1709740659","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/strange-country-jon-thompson-9781848614826","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
