{"product_id":"9780912592114","title":"Traction","description":"\u003cbr\u003ePoetry. \"There is a quiet self-possession and maturity of vision in this volume that characterizes all of its poems; yet at the same time they range widely, addressing subjects as various as Neolithic customs, Whitman's career as a Civil War nurse, the physiology of cetaceans, and a Muslim's stealthy visit to an adult bookstore. The author is also capable of writing sly accounts of family history and a Cold War childhood that seem archetypal rather than generic, that show evidence of a strong social conscience that never devolves to cant. TRACTION is an altogether impressive book of great tonal and formal range\"—David Wojahn.","brand":"Ashland Poetry Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47034080198896,"sku":"9780912592114","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780912592114_p0.jpg?v=1763869174","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780912592114","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
