{"product_id":"third-temple-richard-chess-9781597320245","title":"Third Temple","description":"\u003cp\u003eA house on a leaf is a precarious and fanciful construction, yet it gracefully covers the leaves of Richard Chess's third book of poetry, \u003cem\u003eThird Temple\u003c\/em\u003e. Painted by Edita Pollaková, a child caught in the dislocation and catastrophe of the Holocaust, this watercolor preserves an audacious, innocent vision of structure and renewal against all odds. It is just such structure and renewal that Chess's poems seek as they sing, shout, whisper, accuse, tease, twist, and mourn. Animal sacrifice and blood libel, the Zohar and Solomon ibn Gabirol and Tevye set them going. Languages, too, for some of the poems include Hebrew as they sing of the scattering of kingdoms, the dispelling of names, and the \"aleph bet\" of being. No ordinary temple, this book. Let it challenge and delight you with language lessons that won't leave.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Chess\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1597320242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781597320245\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Tampa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/14\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.28d","brand":"Richard Chess","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45898879107327,"sku":"9781597320245","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_36f38650-1d5d-40d2-87a3-ee9eef105d43.jpg?v=1721377330","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/third-temple-richard-chess-9781597320245","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
