{"product_id":"9781447218272","title":"The Floating Man","description":"Appropriately for a book haunted by music, Katharine Towers’ poems exhibit an almost pianistic sense of timing, touch and tone. In \u003ci\u003eThe Floating Man\u003c\/i\u003e, Towers writes about weight and weightlessness, presence and absence, the body in space, and our oblique relationship with the natural world, always with a wonderful sense of compositional balance; she is expert at registering the huge emotional shifts effected by the smallest things, whether the scent of apples, the slant of the light, or the grace-notes of memory. Music expresses the things we cannot say, but Towers recruits its power to bring the beyond-words into the realm of speech. The result is a debut of great originality and subtlety.","brand":"Pan Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107103260912,"sku":"9781447218272","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781447218272_p0.jpg?v=1763829446","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781447218272","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
