{"product_id":"the-wrecking-light-9780547483337","title":"The Wrecking Light","description":"\u003cp\u003eRobin Robertson's fourth collection is an intense, moving, bleakly lyrical, and at times shocking book. These poems are written with the authority of classical myth, yet sound utterly contemporary. The poet's gaze--whether on the natural world or the details of his own life-- is unflinching and clear, its utter seriousness leavened by a wry, dry, and disarming humor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlongside fine translations from Neruda and Montale and dynamic retellings of stories from Ovid, the poems here pitch the power and wonder of nature against the frailty and failure of the human. This is a book of considerable grandeur and sweep that confirms Robertson as one of the most arresting and powerful poets at work today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mariner Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/11\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780547483337\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.30w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Costa Book Awards - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/27\/2011 pg. 82\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Robin Robertson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38012768714933,"sku":"9780547483337","price":13.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_684d93a2-5217-4a0a-a866-7e726ff703f6.jpg?v=1609137732","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-wrecking-light-9780547483337","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
