{"product_id":"the-swimmer-poems","title":"The Swimmer: Poems","description":"A searching new collection from America’s philosopher-poet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Koethe, in his tenth volume of poetry, investigates the capricious nature of everyday life, “the late-night jazz, great sex and all \/ The human shit defining what we are.” His poems - always dynamic and in process, never static or complete - luxuriate in the questions that punctuate the most humdrum of routines, rendering a robust portrait of an individual: complicated, quotidian, and resounding with truth. The Swimmer argues that this “energizes everything”: life’s trivialities, surprises, and disappointments, and the “terrible feeling of being just about to fall.”","brand":"Farrar Straus Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42985510240336,"sku":"9780374536855B","price":9.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-swimmer-poems","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
