Hailey Leithauser's resplendent array of forms--from traditional verse to more fragmented, onrushing experiments--takes the reader to the heights of lyricism. In these poems, sharp objects speak for themselves, sex is taken up alfresco (among other things), an enigmatic question is posed from \u003ci\u003eTo Have and Have Not\u003c\/i\u003e, and the song of a mockingbird drives us out of bed. A paean to excess, \u003ci\u003eSwoop\u003c\/i\u003e is a virtuosic and exhilarating debut.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hailey Leithauser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1555976573\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781555976576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Graywolf Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.01h x 6.07w x 0.26d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Triangle Awards - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/24\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/18\/2013","brand":"Hailey Leithauser","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48453792071935,"sku":"9781555976576","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_34f511a7-c672-438f-b590-f49d30f889af.jpg?v=1777302333","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/swoop-hailey-leithauser-9781555976576","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
