{"product_id":"the-arsonists-letters-michael-tyrell-9781954780170","title":"The Arsonist's Letters","description":"\u003cp\u003eComprised of poetry written over the course of more than two decades, Michael Tyrell's The Arsonist's Letters reckons with a radically changing landscape, where \"infestations of coincidence\" overlap with \"reflective \/ tricks and rungless ladders,\" and increased surveillance meets the threat of looming extinction. Throughout, memorable historical and contemporary figures emerge: a cousin mistaken for the abducted Lindbergh child; a boy who must make a bargain to keep from starving in Mussolini's Italy; \"children [...] \/ who swear live inside them \/the entire populations of small countries.\" Including moving elegies for a dying mother and poems that puzzle over difficult family secrets, the collection also stands as a paean to correspondence itself, celebrating not only the near-lost art of letter writing but the spiritual necessity of the written message: \"You carry an unsent card in your coat like immunity papers\/ from one ruined place to another \/ where it is, at least, somehow, \/ always spring.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Tyrell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1954780176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781954780170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Backlash Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/22\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.44d","brand":"Michael Tyrell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48153886490879,"sku":"9781954780170","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7774d471-4846-4caf-a8ba-abac19ea6fcc.jpg?v=1770786499","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-arsonists-letters-michael-tyrell-9781954780170","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
