{"product_id":"9780857420916","title":"Quorum","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eQuorum\u003c\/i\u003e, the latest book from William Fuller, is a collection of vivid detours and deadpan visions arranged into forty-five sonnet-like poems. Employing an ear “that hears not what the eye \/ sees not, in detail,” the poet makes his rounds through a menagerie of abstract persons and personified abstractions, carefully feeding them “their weight in flowers,” to achieve the idiosyncratic consistency of a world transected by allusive filaments of “clouds that don’t exist.” Metaphysical wit freezes up the system and then gives it a liquidity. But “there’s a trace of something else that slips in,” which the poet seems at pains to not identify. If it’s not quite song, neither is it simply irony, nor is it a desire to exceed these, although all are required to make a quorum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\"Fuller’s work is engaging on a deep level like only the great works are. [D]efinitely one of the best books that I have come across lately and is one that should be on any reader’s shelf.\"—William Allegrezza on \u003ci\u003eWatchword\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seagull Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47008614023408,"sku":"9780857420916","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780857420916_p0.jpg?v=1763829176","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780857420916","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
