Still, it would take a very ordinary reader to find a culpable artificiality in Thomas Whitbred's poems. Their language has a supple openness, as of an amiable and intelligent man talking; both in its playfulness and in its gravity, it avoids the stagey; and it easily enlists any suitable form in the pursuit and sharpening of its point. - Richard Wilbur\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Whitbread\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0918526310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780918526311\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e BOA Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 71\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.74h x 5.70w x 0.26d","brand":"Thomas Whitbread","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926827008255,"sku":"9780918526311","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_500fd230-b37f-46b6-a83b-3b252b387424.jpg?v=1681085239","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/whomp-and-moonshiver-thomas-whitbread-9780918526311","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
