{"product_id":"the-name-museum-nick-mcrae-9781936196173","title":"The Name Museum","description":"Poetry. In his stunning new book THE NAME MUSEUM, Nick McRae reminds us that every name is, finally, a museum, an elegy, a narrative, and that all narrative becomes translation of place--and the collective voice of place--sometimes 'mythic, bloody as a psalm.' McRae's formal control always certain, ever graceful, these poems fuse harshness, longing, loss, spirituality, and beauty with the 'sweat and rapture' of the very best poetry.--Claudia Emerson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The hard evidence we gather from history and local lore, from tradition and experience, determines what we believe--or so we are inclined by logic to believe. And yet we linger more over the truths that defy belief. It is a strange paradox but one Nick McRae finds everywhere he trains his vision. An email from God, an homage to a one-armed barber, snakes and trucks, saints and prophets: this is the grist of a wonderful book of poetry, half apocalypse and half love-song. It is also the work of a young poet skilled in his craft and clearly devoted to his art.--Maurice Manning\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nick McRae\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1936196174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781936196173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e C\u0026amp;r Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 76\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.18d","brand":"Nick McRae","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125603791103,"sku":"9781936196173","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_081839fa-e3bb-4fb6-91f0-4ce0c4574167.jpg?v=1687443555","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-name-museum-nick-mcrae-9781936196173","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
