{"product_id":"9780374713324","title":"Nothing to Declare: Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA bold new collection of poems of feral beauty and intense vulnerability\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe poems in Henri Cole's ninth book, \u003ci\u003eNothing to Declare\u003c\/i\u003e, explore life and need and delight. Each poem starts up from its own unique occasion and is then conducted through surprising (sometimes unnerving) and self-steadying domains. The result is a daring, delicate, unguarded, and tender collection. After his last three books—\u003ci\u003eTouch\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBlackbird and Wolf\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMiddle Earth\u003c\/i\u003e—in which the sonnet was a thrown shape and not merely a template, Cole's buoyant new poems seem trim and terse, with a first-place, last-ditch resonance. In their sorrowful richness, they combine a susceptibility to sensuousness and an awareness of desolation. With precise reliability of detail, a supple wealth of sound, and a speculative truthfulness, Cole transforms the pain of experience into the keen pleasure of expressive language. \u003ci\u003eNothing to Declare\u003c\/i\u003e is a rare work, necessary and durable, light in touch but with just enough weight to mark the soul.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47104189137136,"sku":"9780374713324","price":9.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780374713324_p0.jpg?v=1769917635","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780374713324","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
