{"product_id":"selected-poems-1","title":"Selected Poems","description":"Intense verbal music with a jazz feeling; invention against the grain of expectation; intelligence racing among materials with the variety of a busy street - these have been the qualities of Robert Pinsky’s work since his first book, Sadness and Happiness (1975), celebrated for setting a new direction in American poetry. At that time, responding to a question about that book, Pinsky said: \"I would like to write a poetry which could contain every kind of thing, while keeping all the excitement of poetry.\" That ambition was realized in a new way with each of his books, including the book-length personal monologue An Explanation of America; the transformed autobiography of History of My Heart; the bestselling translation The Inferno of Dante; and, most recently, the savage, inventive Gulf Music. That variety and renewal are represented in this brilliantly chosen volume.","brand":"Farrar Straus Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42985525444688,"sku":"9780374258603B","price":9.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/fr\/products\/selected-poems-1","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
