{"product_id":"9780887485046","title":"Alehouse Sonnets","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this sequence of fifty poems, Norman Dubie has conversations with the nineteenth-century British essayist William Hazlitt. Marvin Bell says of this book: \"It's not simply that a sizeable portion of Hazlitt's life is also Dubie's, but that Dubie's experience, 153 years later, was imbedded in Hazlitt's. The very manner of these fifty 'sonnets' suggests it: an almost 'innocent' attention to the sacred and profane, and exceptional combination of energy and restraint, a 'purity' owing to Dubie's ability to measure the lives of Hazlitt and himself without extraneous judgments. This is a remarkable sequence—for its amazing historical sense, for its special vocabulary and collections of objects, and finally for its psychological rightness. It is the talent of a secret voice.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carnegie-Mellon University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47008314425584,"sku":"9780887485046","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780887485046_p0.jpg?v=1763851307","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780887485046","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
