{"product_id":"at-the-foundling-hospital-poems-9780374537296b","title":"At the Foundling Hospital: Poems","description":"With all the generosity and mastery we have come to expect from our three-time Poet Laureate, Robert Pinsky has written a bold, lyrical meditation on identity and culture as hybrid and fluid, violent as well as creative: the enigmatic, maybe universal, condition of the foundling. At the Foundling Hospital considers the foundling soul: its need to be adopted, and its need to be adaptive. These poems reimagine identity on the scale of one life or of human history: from \"the emanation of a dead star still alive\" to the \"pinhole iris of your mortal eye.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat is a particular person? How unique? What is anyone born as? Born with? Born into? The poems of Robert Pinsky’s At the Foundling Hospital engage personality and culture as improvised from loss: a creative effort so pervasive it can be invisible.","brand":"Farrar Straus Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42826289315920,"sku":"9780374537296B","price":6.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780374537296-l.jpg?v=1785905022","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/en-ca\/products\/at-the-foundling-hospital-poems-9780374537296b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
