It's like listening to the still chancy and experimental transmission of the post modern vehicle gleefully downshifting into the breezy updrafts of the traditional musics of English verse, and then lurching into the future again. Smokes contains elegies, poems of urban and domestic angst, laments, invectives, cakewalks, struts. It's very much of the moment but it is also a deeply literary book -- how could it not be? And its confident rueful, and playful grasp of its tradition is eye-opening and, sardonic as it is, boisterous fun.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e --Robert Hass \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Four Way Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781884800191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 6.04w x 0.25d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/25\/1998 pg. 86\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/26\/1998\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Susan Wheeler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53024078233781,"sku":"9781884800191","price":11.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/9781884800191.jpg?v=1787667282","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/smokes-9781884800191","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
