{"product_id":"two-rooms-constance-merritt-9780807135198","title":"Two Rooms: Poems","description":"Relying most heavily on music and metaphor, syntax and diction, \u003ci\u003eTwo Rooms\u003c\/i\u003e explores the conflicting claims of life and art, world and word, cultural heritage and cultural affinities, through the sacral, erotic, and creative imagination. By the light of these dark lyrics, Constance Merritt searches for a path, a sign, a respite--perhaps love or death or God or insight, perhaps radical transformation or a simple good night's sleep. In these poems, by turns passionate, sinuous, playful and grave, a deep and abiding trust in \"the plain sense of things\" and intractable longing for the \"lush, desire-transfigured world\" meet and wrestle to a dynamic draw.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Constance Merritt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807135194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807135198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LSU Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.79h x 6.05w x 0.22d","brand":"Constance Merritt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947251925247,"sku":"9780807135198","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_05faad77-99d7-49c5-88d0-96de9ae4bd07.jpg?v=1681517613","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/two-rooms-constance-merritt-9780807135198","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
