{"product_id":"american-melancholy-poems","title":"American Melancholy : Poems","description":"A new collection of poetry from an American literary legend, her first in twenty-five yearsJoyce Carol Oates is one of our most insightful observers of the human heart and mind, and, with her acute social consciousness, one of the most insistent and inspired witnesses of a shared American history. Oates is perhaps best known for her prodigious output of novels and short stories, many of which have become contemporary classics. However, Oates has also always been a faithful writer of poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e American Melancholy showcases some of her finest work of the last few decades. Covering subjects big and small, and written in an immediate and engaging style, this collection touches on both the personal and political. Loss, love, and memory are investigated, along with the upheavals of our modern age, the reality of our current predicaments, and the ravages of poverty, racism, and social unrest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Oates skillfully writes characters ranging from a former doctor at a Chinese People's Liberation Army hospital to Little Albert, a six-month-old infant who took part in a famous study that revealed evidence of classical conditioning in human beings. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Published: USA, 2023\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Publisher: HarperCollins\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Pages: 128\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Language: English\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ISBN 13: 9780063035270\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ISBN 10: 0063035278","brand":"Joyce Carol Oates","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44467800178954,"sku":"","price":20.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/products\/media_104929146.jpg?v=1680086295","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/american-melancholy-poems","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
