{"product_id":"9780932826916","title":"Tactile Values: Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Mark Scott possess perfect pitch: a conversational music, a feel for dense textures of sound and unpredictable shifts of syntax, a fresh way of combining informal and formal tones that is utterly engaging. I am struck often in his poems by a comparably forceful and complex sensuousness chastened by analytic rigor, an intense and often distressed introspection, a feeling for the juice, the meat, the life in living things. He is a delicious love poet, a provocative linguistic banterer, a moving and painful elegist.\" —Alicia Ostriker \"By turns subtly figurative then frank and physical as an open hand, Mark Scott's poetry is true to its theme: our manifold, many-folded senses of touch, literal and metaphoric. The voice is that of an original mind quite (yet quietly) unlike any other: playful, modest, profound. With an elusive directness making its findings highly readable, this mind\/body balance of Tactile Values seems unique in American poetry.\" —Reg Saner\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Issues Poetry \u0026 Prose","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47013119656176,"sku":"9780932826916","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780932826916_p0.jpg?v=1763867493","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780932826916","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
