{"product_id":"windfall-maggie-anderson-9780822957195","title":"Windfall: New and Selected Poems","description":"\u003ci\u003eWindfall\u003c\/i\u003e includes poems from three previous books by Maggie Anderson, along with a generous selection of new work. In this collection we can see over two decades of the growth of a poet memorable for the clarity, strength, and urgency of her voice. Anderson's poems entangle a language, a history, and a group of belongings, and she is both at home and a foreigner in the places she invokes. Every place in these poems seems inhabitable, yet the tensions of these deceptively quiet lines develop out of the clear reluctance or inability of the poet to sit still. Maggie Anderson writes out of deep grief for the political losses of work and money, of life and limb and home in our dangerous times. She remembers and witnesses, and she also speaks eloquently for our private griefs--the loss of family, vitality and self. These poems do not shout; we listen as if following a whisper in the dark. A counterpoint to the sorrows in these poems is a complex and often joyous music, as well as a wry, sometimes self-deprecating humor which saves the work from solemnity. Her rhythms are diverse and intricate; they move deftly from fiddle whine to saxophone, from fugue to blues.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maggie Anderson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822957191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822957195\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/02\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 6.00w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/27\/2000 pg. 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2000 pg. 49","brand":"Maggie Anderson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072825389311,"sku":"9780822957195","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ed0cb72a-54a5-48da-a5e8-f1d7a0ba37ee.jpg?v=1685444151","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/windfall-maggie-anderson-9780822957195","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
