{"product_id":"scarlett-tanager-poetry-9780811215824","title":"Scarlett Tanager: Poetry","description":"\u003cb\u003eNew work from one of America's most original experimental poets.\u003c\/b\u003e Comprised almost entirely of never-before-collected poems, \u003ci\u003eScarlet Tanager\u003c\/i\u003e is Bernadette Mayer's first collection of new work in nearly a decade. Mayer, \"one of the most original writers of her generation\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e), has mixed together here delightful epigrams (\"The Mammal Epigram\" \"Sexually \/ it's cute\"), long-line free verse, and her astonishing sonnets. There are also curious translations of Mayer poems into joking, free-styling French, which are then re-translated back into English, landing somewhere extremely witty and quite some ways from the original. There is no one writing today who can touch Bernadette Mayer for sheer pleasure and throw-away brilliance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/17\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811215824\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.32w x 0.38d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/30\/2005 pg. 55\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Bernadette Mayer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44833757790389,"sku":"9780811215824","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_4c234c1b-b228-4036-bb3c-0dc33cc032d3.jpg?v=1732029998","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/scarlett-tanager-poetry-9780811215824","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
