{"product_id":"the-decomposers-art-shirley-paolini-9780820410005","title":"The Decomposer's Art: Ideas of Music in the Poetry of Wallace Stevens","description":"This comprehensive study of the ideas of music in Wallace Stevens' poetry  rereads  Stevens as a poet whose compositional strategies assimilate musical forms and performative programs. The  decomposer  is the poet of qualification, who constantly explores the validity of  developing variation  as the best means for creating art not limited by system or medium. As both subject and strategy for poetry, music becomes Stevens' most frequently used figure connecting his art to the rhythms of modern life. Thus, to disregard Stevens' ideas of music is to misread the text.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shirley Paolini,Barbara Holmes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820410004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820410005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 177\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Shirley Paolini","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48241112613119,"sku":"9780820410005","price":55.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_06e876d1-d9ac-42f0-95f7-a8a0c8261116.jpg?v=1772652789","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-decomposers-art-shirley-paolini-9780820410005","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
