{"product_id":"selected-poems-2","title":"Selected Poems","description":"209 pp. 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 \u0026 Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39993574162502,"sku":"2324375","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/products\/2324375.jpg?v=1650648280","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/selected-poems-2","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
