Diverging from the excess and declamation of his highly praised previous collection, \u003ci\u003eThe Hunter\u003c\/i\u003e, Murray breaks new poetic ground in poems that are dangerous, sharp and glistening in both language and style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCombining what the poet calls \"thought-rhyme\" with the structured sonnet form, Murray's philosophical curiosity and hardnosed intelligence emerge to create an off-kilter eye that somehow manages to be dead on target. As though looking out a window by which the entire world is passing, \u003ci\u003eThe Rush to Here\u003c\/i\u003e darts through the absurdity of daily life to organize the mess and contradictions of modern society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRelentlessly honest, elegant in form and language, \u003ci\u003eThe Rush to Here\u003c\/i\u003e is an intimidating, eerie, but ultimately hopeful collection that sets George Murray apart as a voice for our time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nightwood Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033746620656,"sku":"9780889712294","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780889712294_p0.jpg?v=1763858983","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780889712294","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
