{"product_id":"grain-9780330461344","title":"Grain","description":"Though John Glenday has long been admired for his lyrically delicate and emotionally powerful poetry, he has remained something of a well-kept secret. His third collection, \"Grain,\" makes his singular talent available to a wider audience. Sometimes Glenday's poems are forcefully direct; sometimes they are so quiet they feel as if they were composed within a capacious listening, as a form of secular prayer. Glenday's seamless lyric can also disguise some wild and surreal tales: the Beauty and the Beast told in reverse, a bizarre list of new saints, or a can of peaches waiting for the invention of the tin-opener. However, the lasting impression is of a genuinely spiritual poet, one with the ability to turn every earthly detail towards the same clear light. \"Grain\" announces Glenday as an essential voice in contemporary poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Picador USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/06\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780330461344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.00w x 0.30d","brand":"John Glenday","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52072223703221,"sku":"9780330461344","price":12.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_91f6c11e-e56a-4d85-83bc-d0a3ae0eaa32.jpg?v=1764688154","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/grain-9780330461344","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
