{"product_id":"the-circle-line-9781935218081","title":"The Circle Line","description":"\"The figurative subtlety and range of these poems made this book an imaginative feast. Throughout, I had a sense that I was being presented the story of a life by means of a deeper language, as if Jorn Ake has figured out how to speak directly through the feelings that attach to actions, objects and memories. With a work this metaphorical, I look at what recurs--the desert and childhood, photography and music, violence on a personal and political scale--and there is an ongoing, loving nod to the artists who have shaped this poet's mind. I also sense that what drives his work is a desire to characterize the feeling of a time period, the later 20th century, with all its 'blindness\/flying moth-crazy about the light.' I cannot turn away from these poems. This is a fascinating book\"--Bob Hickok.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Backwaters Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781935218081\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.23d","brand":"Jorn Ake","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52491405033653,"sku":"9781935218081","price":13.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_0a28d256-ca0a-4e65-9e2f-4b241c879d0e.jpg?v=1777996159","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-circle-line-9781935218081","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
