{"product_id":"vellum-matt-donovan-9780618822126","title":"Vellum","description":"Vellum, the exquisite debut collection from Matt Donovan, meditates on beauty, art, and the violence that is sometimes inherent in both.\u003cbr\u003eHere, he juxtaposes religious iconography with stories from history, biography, and personal narrative. In the poignant \"Saint Catherine in an O,\" a knife bears unlikely duality--an object stirring with danger and grace.\u003cbr\u003e\"A man plays slide guitar \/ with his pocketknife, accompanying the words of his songs--\/ one about light, the Lord moving on water . . . \/ how blood, he knows, will make him whole.\" In other poems, he reflects upon master artists, who captured similar themes in their art though in different mediums. Brimming with poems that are quietly powerful, Vellum marks the arrival of a commanding new voice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matt Donovan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0618822127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780618822126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ecco Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.92h x 6.12w x 0.26d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/22\/2007 pg. 15\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/07\/2007","brand":"Matt Donovan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059429601535,"sku":"9780618822126","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_36213d77-74b0-4ccb-aa93-0dc341dfac14.jpg?v=1685058175","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vellum-matt-donovan-9780618822126","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
