{"product_id":"the-singers-logan-ryan-smith-9780615142357","title":"The Singers","description":"\"It's time to gather rest under duress.\" Music and its family of allied arts reigns high in the world Logan Ryan Smith has carved for his Singers. Dance and ritual act as counterforces to the martial law the poem has been written under, in this time of Iraq incursion that touches every aspect of our lives. Smith sends out these poems like bulletins to his heroes, his confreres, his girlfriends, his dead; in the serial form pioneered by Jack Spicer, John Ashbery, Robin Blaser, and Larry Kearney, the tropes rumble like card tricks-Spicer's forests, diamonds, Giants and knights advance and retreat across a musical chessboard. If there was no one else writing poetry in all of the Bay Area, we would still be \"covered\"; with Logan Ryan Smith at bat we'll see angels in the outfield. -Kevin Killian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Logan Ryan Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0615142354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780615142357\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dusie Press Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/25\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.31d","brand":"Logan Ryan Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437940453631,"sku":"9780615142357","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dbaa9304-d52d-449f-a737-856b31f7b343.jpg?v=1777167714","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-singers-logan-ryan-smith-9780615142357","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
