He has previously published four novels, including THE WEIGHT OF LOVE, a Nan Talese Book that was selected by Publisher's Weekly as one of the best novels of the year, and a chapbook of poems. Herman began writing poetry as an adolescent. He has been a professor, editor, and novelist, but has never ceased his devotion to poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHerman writes that his roots as a poet lie in the Modern tradition, and behind that in the Romantic and Symbolist writers of the 19th century, with their belief that poetry represents a unique form of discourse. Language-its words, images, metaphors-offer meanings and implications, Mr. Herman suggests, that lie embodied in the poetry itself, making of poetry a continuing, cumulative experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHerman adds that each of his poems \"tries to catch a significant event: a particular emotion-or a thought-as-emotion-in a particular time and place; and attempts to marshal the words, images, music, that will embody that emotion or thought so as to convey it to the reader.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Herman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1956474013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781956474015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Eterneditions\/Child Account for Heliotrope Bo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.02d","brand":"John Herman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48113773379839,"sku":"9781956474015","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0c0b2c65-fa61-4520-84af-a6b484510c1d.jpg?v=1769617222","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/white-summer-john-herman-9781956474015","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
