{"product_id":"9780486812021","title":"War Is Kind and Other Poems","description":"A unique stylist and one of the most innovative and talented writers of his generation, Stephen Crane (1871–1900) won lasting fame as a novelist (\u003ci\u003eThe Red Badge of Courage, Maggie: A Girl of the Streets\u003c\/i\u003e) and short story writer. Described by William Dean Howells as a writer whose genius seemed to \"spring to life fully armed,\" Crane also produced impressive free-form verse. \u003cbr\u003eThis excellent anthology contains nearly all of Crane's verse, including two complete books of poems: \u003ci\u003eThe Black Riders and Other Lines, \u003c\/i\u003ewhich garnered immediate praise; and \u003ci\u003eWar Is Kind, \u003c\/i\u003eablaze with vivid imagery. Here, too, are rewarding selections from his uncollected poetic works. Thought by some critics to anticipate the Imagist movement of the twentieth century, Crane's poems are usually brief, cadenced, and rhymeless, rich in drama and symbolism, and spiritually penetrating.","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47103930073328,"sku":"9780486812021","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780486812021_p0.jpg?v=1763708993","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780486812021","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
