{"product_id":"9781466875593","title":"Averno: Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003eAverno is a small crater lake in southern , regarded by the ancient Romans as the entrance to the underworld. That place gives its name to Louise Glück's eleventh collection: in a landscape turned irretrievably to winter, it is the only source of heat and light, a gate or passageway that invites traffic between worlds while at the same time opposing their reconciliation. \u003ci\u003eAverno\u003c\/i\u003e is an extended lamentation, its long, restless poems no less spellbinding for being without plot or hope, no less ravishing for being savage, grief-stricken. What Averno provides is not a map to a point of arrival or departure, but a diagram of where we are, the harrowing, enduring presence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAverno\u003c\/i\u003e is a 2006 National Book Award Finalist for Poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47173457903856,"sku":"9781466875593","price":9.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781466875593_p0.jpg?v=1769891928","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781466875593","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
