{"product_id":"after-i-was-dead-poems-9780820332789","title":"After I Was Dead: Poems","description":"This powerful collection of poems from Laura Mullen is the edgy, unashamedly experimental, and formally inventive book of a poet who has found her way to her own voice or style--or rather voices and styles, for there are several. The poems of \u003ci\u003eAfter I Was Dead\u003c\/i\u003e develop harmonically rather than melodically: they leap from one register, one voice, one tone to another in deft juxtapositions that carry narrative only incidentally, destabilizing traditional notions of development. These poems are honed by a fine intelligence into elegant, sometimes funny art, as in \"Autumn\" \"Her hair, brown. \/ Her specialty, damage. \/ Her specialty, becoming \/ Something else. Her hair, falling \/ Leaves, leaf rot, and then soil.\" Through her rediscovery of the freedom Emily Dickinson located in being \"dead\" (in writing from over the border of an already recognized erasure), Mullen increases the territory of the contemporary poem.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820332789\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.28d","brand":"Laura Mullen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36644758749340,"sku":"9780820332789","price":20.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_8a5b5d79-5ecf-4e29-984e-94746d73af4d.jpg?v=1603859406","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/after-i-was-dead-poems-9780820332789","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
