{"product_id":"the-joyous-science-maxim-amelin-9781945680199","title":"The Joyous Science: Selected Poems of Maxim Amelin","description":"The Joyous Science offers a comprehensive introduction to Maxim Amelin. The poems span Amelin's long career and cover his many thematic concerns. A loving collector of neologisms and a devoted student of Revolutionary word-smithing (  la Mayakovsky), Amelin keeps his poetry in suspension through a tension of opposites. He writes of bodily pleasures while musing on the body's resurrection. He is critical of Russia but loves its language. Riddles, odes, and elegies appear alongside a long poem, \"The Joyous Science.\" This 20-page mock epic chronicles the exploits--both real and imagined--of Jacob Bruce, an astronomer, alchemist, and military strategist to Peter the Great. Amelin is a unique force in contemporary Russian poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maxim Amelin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1945680199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781945680199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e White Pine Press (NY)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/18\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Maxim Amelin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978920100095,"sku":"9781945680199","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a8e77036-d39e-4fca-bfe1-0dd48b52d566.jpg?v=1683243559","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-joyous-science-maxim-amelin-9781945680199","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
