{"product_id":"the-moon-in-a-bowl-michael-harlow-9781988531540","title":"The Moon in a Bowl of Water","description":"Bound together by myth and music, Michael Harlow's 'The Moon in a Bowl of Water' is a stunning new collection from a poet in complete control of his craft. Harlow is the maestro of the prose poem. Here he presents a collection of small human journeys, with a strong emphasis on narrative. The work is consciously rooted in Greek mythology and in the idea of storytelling as a continuous river, flowing from the ancients to the present, telling one story on the surface, but carrying in its depths the glints of ancient archetypes, symbols and myths. Each poem is studded with associations that hark back millennia. Harlow delights in the airiness of the imagination and the magic of transformation, especially through the power of language. Words become 'thought-birds' that can be caged, coaxed to sing, or allowed to fly, and the poems' sonic after-effects echo and re-echo in the reader's mind and ear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Harlow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1988531543\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781988531540\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Otago University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.30w x 0.30d","brand":"Michael Harlow","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486703628543,"sku":"9781988531540","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_abd691d8-a1fd-4e5a-acae-1ecbe4fbc3d9.jpg?v=1778056395","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-moon-in-a-bowl-michael-harlow-9781988531540","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
