{"product_id":"the-givens-sandra-lim-9781324135104","title":"The Givens: Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003eWry and unsparing, the radiant poems in Sandra Lim's \u003cem\u003eThe Givens\u003c\/em\u003e move deftly from the deeply personal to the mythic and world-historical. A master of sensory imagery, Lim offers us all the earthly pleasures and sensations of our daily lives--bread, cake, and meat; body, breath, and song; roses, trees, and stars--turning each moment over as one might turn over a rock to reveal a whole ecosystem. \u003cem\u003eThe Givens\u003c\/em\u003e takes the measure of our existence with grandeur and charm: one moment we are struck by awe or darkness, the next we brush it off and move on to another day, another epoch. Everyday moments launch spiritual questions and the subtle truths and surprises within them; to eat and to joke is to think about the meaning of life. Terrible and wonderful in their news, the poems in \u003cem\u003eThe Givens\u003c\/em\u003e dazzle in their bold inhabitation of lived and imagined experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandra Lim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1324135107\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781324135104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
