{"product_id":"9780889711631","title":"God on His Haunches","description":"Diane Tucker writes from experience and \"the sustaining power of memory\" in this first collection of poems. She writes of falling in love with the wrong person: \"For you I ride without a seat belt, willing to be thrown clear at first impact\"; her daughter at four months, whose fingertips \"are globes of amber salmon roe\/ cool smooth\/ and salty\"; and growing up as an adopted child: \"mystery breathes on my bare shoulders\/ whispers between my spread-eagled arms:\/ you could be anyone in the whole wide world.\" \u003cp\u003eTucker treats her subjects with respect, compassion and a subtle playfulness. Her love of language, humour and poetic consciousness transforms images from everyday life into lyrical, intimate and original works of art, offering the reader fresh insights - with just a touch of magic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nightwood Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033897287920,"sku":"9780889711631","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780889711631_p0.jpg?v=1763847469","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780889711631","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
