{"product_id":"sweep-david-abel-9781946104694","title":"Sweep","description":"Sweep is not a long poem or a series of short poems but a log of practice, determined \/ to find a structure to inhabit to bits. The form's generosity lets the bits live, passes them along, unforeseeable, irregular, and ordinary. It tells us what it is as it goes: The Encyclopedia of Unfinished Business. But also, A library is a cemetery in which every grave has a voice, and can speak. In this openwork, isolate moments float in silence, cottonwood-fluff light, carried together by a wandering ground bass. Did I say silence? Made of words: no single poems but a noncount poetry, including even a certain unmodified noun. This notation can be laugh-out-loud funny-- Big 12 defense a sieve? That's grudge talk.-- or gently devastating-- Everyone leads three simultaneous lives: \/ their hidden work, their death, and their disguise.-- or both at once.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Abel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1946104698\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781946104694\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Chax Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"David Abel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48089433506047,"sku":"9781946104694","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e9d51ce7-e5a6-426f-a27e-84f75869a2f3.jpg?v=1769110224","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sweep-david-abel-9781946104694","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
