{"product_id":"red-has-no-reason-9781935514527","title":"Red Has No Reason","description":"A marvelous intelligence, mindful and clear-eyed, governs the inscape of these poems where \"strangeness\/is so usual nothing's strange\" - nor does that commanding presence hesitate a moment before welcoming magicians, who \"train as pole-vaulters do - tedious, lonely practice\/ broken by a moment's flight.\" It is such flights we witness here, increasingly aware once again of a sum greater than its parts, of moments seemingly disparate that gradually become a mosaic catching the range of a whole life, richly lived and examined with meticulous candor. \u003cbr\u003e William Pitt Root, poetry editor of CutThroat: A Journal \u003cbr\u003e of the Arts, and author of eleven collections of poems \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e JoAnne Growney is a mathematician and a poet - a striking combination. Her poems belie the old saws about the two cultures. Red Has No Reason shows us how we can be precise and intuitive, heady and heartful. \u003cbr\u003e Jan Heller Levi, poet, author of Skyspeak, editor of \u003cbr\u003e A Muriel Rukeyser Reader \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Red Has No Reason is a collection that takes the reader into a world with a kaleidoscope view - one that shifts, and dazzles and mystifies, despite best efforts to impose order. Her pairing of this red, raw stuff of life with mathematical precision creates a poetry collection to rival the mystical allure of the aurora. \u003cbr\u003e Jerry Wemple, poet, author of The Civil War in Baltimore\u003cbr\u003e and You Can See It from Here, co-editor of Common \u003cbr\u003e Wealth: Contemporary Poets on Pennsylvania, editor of\u003cbr\u003e Watershed: the Journal of the Susquehanna \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Plain View Press, LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781935514527\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 82\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.17d","brand":"Joanne Growney","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42599723696309,"sku":"9781935514527","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_67795ad1-be23-4710-8a8e-0a6d4302ffe1.jpg?v=1674000595","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/red-has-no-reason-9781935514527","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
