{"product_id":"9780983322061","title":"The School of Solitude: Collected Poems","description":"\u003cbr\u003ePeruvian poet Luis Hernández is legendary in his native country. Haunted by addiction and spending periodic reclusion in rehabilitation centers, Hernández was exceptionally gifted in his youth, publishing three books of poetry by the time he was twenty-four. He did not publish another book before his untimely death at thirty-six, but he was not silent—he filled notebooks with poems, musical notations, quotes, translations, musings, newspaper clippings, and drawings.\u003cbr\u003e            \u003cbr\u003e Derived from these notebooks, \u003ci\u003eThe School of Solitude\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book of Hernández’s poetry in English. The haunting voice of Hernández evokes an irrevocably distant past, with the poems contemplating happiness and joy, love and fulfillment, yet always with a sense of sadness, solitude, and dream. Including rare images from Hernández’s notebooks, as well as several poems never before published in any language, \u003ci\u003eThe School of Solitude\u003c\/i\u003e will be read not only for its powerful poetry and imagery, but also as a means to learn more about this enigmatic Latin American poet and the mystery of his life and work.","brand":"Swan Isle Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47034564870384,"sku":"9780983322061","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780983322061_p0.jpg?v=1763880317","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780983322061","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
