{"product_id":"the-travelers-vade-mecum-helen-klein-ross-9781597092241","title":"The Traveler's Vade Mecum","description":"The original \u003ci\u003eTraveler's Vade Mecum\u003c\/i\u003e, published in 1853, contained thousands of telegrams. Ross chose telegrams as titles for poems solicited from dozens of poets, including Bollingen Prize winner Frank Bidart and former US Poet Laureate Billy Collins to create a digital-age compendium of old-world poetics. Here are lyric poems, language poems, prose poems, found poems, haikus, pantoums, ekphrases, epistolary poems, acrostics, sonnets and mirror sonnets. Demonstrating the range of what poetry can do, this book provides a fascinating glimpse into the habits and social aspects of 19th century America--and shows how we have evolved 163 years later.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Helen Klein Ross\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 159709224X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781597092241\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Red Hen Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.80w x 0.40d","brand":"Helen Klein Ross","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938554609919,"sku":"9781597092241","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_25665c72-97ac-48b8-a976-949d07d4e318.jpg?v=1681436376","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-travelers-vade-mecum-helen-klein-ross-9781597092241","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
