A mythic quotidian is recounted through rich and often confessional exposition: the love of a father for his daughter, of dear people and places, of curious insects and birds. Musing unapologetically on themes intimate and wistful, Halpern writes to French actresses, old lovers, a pot of stew, insomnia, and to friends past and present, sharing lessons of the literary world. As he reminisces on once-realities and questions his own observations--the duplicity of memory--these poems transcend form, the world presenting itself anew. Halpern is a literary icon, and in \u003ci\u003eAir\u003c\/i\u003e he proves that poetry is quite literally all around us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Copper Canyon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781556597251\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136","brand":"Daniel Halpern","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52403541901493,"sku":"9781556597251","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_ff9b9664-6af3-4a44-b80e-77dd4cffbf48.jpg?v=1774969622","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/air-9781556597251","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
