{"product_id":"2940014358651","title":"STARVED ROCK","description":"STARVED BOOK, by Edgar Lee Masters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Edgar Lee Masters wrote \"Spoon River Anthology,\" back in 1915, he gained a new army of admirers almost instantly. The number of his followers materially increased by his book, \"Starved Rock.\" This volume, containing forty-four poems, is just as full of beauty, good humor, satire and rhythm as any of his previous work, in spite of the occasional super-flights of fancy that may seem overdone. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor sheer beauty and effective choice of words and phrases that present a clear picture, it is difficult to find anything in Mr. Masters' previous writings to surpass the title poem, \"Starved Rock.\" For dramatic effect \"Washington Hospital\" is creditable. \"Chicago\" is another of the collection that is well done—that is, for the man or woman who really knows Chicago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStarved rock is a prodigal book. There is vitality in every poem. And with the realization of death there goes a delight in the symbols and processes of life being lived.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e***\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe List of Poems:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStarved Rock \u003cbr\u003eHymn To The Dead\u003cbr\u003eCreation\u003cbr\u003eThe World's Desire\u003cbr\u003eTyrannosaurus: Or Burning Letters\u003cbr\u003eLord Byron To Doctor Polidori\u003cbr\u003eThe Folding Mirror\u003cbr\u003eA Woman Of Forty\u003cbr\u003eWild Birds\u003cbr\u003eA Lady\u003cbr\u003eThe Negro Ward\u003cbr\u003eWilliam Shakespeare\u003cbr\u003eFor A Play\u003cbr\u003eChicago\u003cbr\u003eThe Wedding Feast\u003cbr\u003eBy The Waters Of Babylon\u003cbr\u003eThe Dream Of Tasso\u003cbr\u003eThe Christian Statesman\u003cbr\u003eThe Lament Of Sophonia\u003cbr\u003eAt Decapolis\u003cbr\u003eWinged Victory\u003cbr\u003eOh You Sabbatarians! \u003cbr\u003ePallas Athene\u003cbr\u003eAt Sagamore Hill\u003cbr\u003eTo Robert Nichols\u003cbr\u003eBonnybell: The Butterfly\u003cbr\u003eHymn To Agni\u003cbr\u003eEpitaph For Us \u003cbr\u003eBotticelli To Simonetta \u003cbr\u003eFlower In The Garden\u003cbr\u003eInexorable Deities\u003cbr\u003eArielle\u003cbr\u003eSounds Out Of Sorrow\u003cbr\u003eMournin' For Religion\u003cbr\u003eThyamis\u003cbr\u003eI Shall Go Down Into This Land\u003cbr\u003eSpring Lake\u003cbr\u003eThe Barber Of Sepo\u003cbr\u003eThey'd Never Know Me Now\u003cbr\u003eNel Mezzo Del Cammin\u003cbr\u003eThe Oak Tree\u003cbr\u003eThe House On The Hill\u003cbr\u003eWashington Hospital\u003cbr\u003eNeither Faith Nor Beauty Can Remain","brand":"OGB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069235871984,"sku":"2940014358651","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014358651_p0.jpg?v=1763616286","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014358651","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
