{"product_id":"9781440627064","title":"An Almost Pure Empty Walking","description":"In his debut collection, chosen by Mary Karr as a winner of the 2005 National Poetry Series, Tryfon Tolides weaves together poems that speak of desire, loss, and small joys. Tolides was born in a tiny village in Greece and his work is rooted in the mountains and wind and the deep interior of that place; his poems express a longing and a searching for peace, for home, for beauty, for escape. These poems constitute a lament, whether they concern themselves with the difficulties of assimilation or the question of whether it is possible for people to live with one another in a spirit of true understanding. They prove that the physical and the metaphysical can share residence, can even be one and the same.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47154931859696,"sku":"9781440627064","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781440627064_p0.jpg?v=1763786869","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781440627064","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
