{"product_id":"bright-dead-things-poems","title":"Bright Dead Things : Poems","description":"Bright Dead Things examines the chaos that is life, the dangerous thrill of living in a world you know you have to leave one day, and the search to find something that is ultimately \"disorderly, and marvelous, and ours.\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA book of bravado and introspection, of 21st century feminist swagger and harrowing terror and loss, this fourth collection considers how we build our identities out of place and human contact--tracing in intimate detail the various ways the speaker's sense of self both shifts and perseveres as she moves from New York City to rural Kentucky, loses a dear parent, ages past the capriciousness of youth, and falls in love. Limón has often been a poet who wears her heart on her sleeve, but in these extraordinary poems that heart becomes a \"huge beating genius machine\" striving to embrace and understand the fullness of the present moment. \"I am beautiful. I am full of love. I am dying,\" the poet writes. Building on the legacies of forebears such as Frank O'Hara, Sharon Olds, and Mark Doty, Limón's work is consistently generous and accessible--though every observed moment feels complexly thought, felt, and lived.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Published: USA, 2015\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Publisher: Milkweed Editions\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Pages: 105\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Language: English\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ISBN 13: 9781571314710\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ISBN 10: 1571314717\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ada Limov","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43800858394890,"sku":"","price":19.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/products\/Screenshot2022-10-26at17-03-499781571314710_FC.jpg_JPEGImage506x782pixels_Scaled_76.png?v=1666796875","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/bright-dead-things-poems","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
