{"product_id":"9781551996653","title":"Apparatus","description":"“There’s a place \/ between desire and memory, some back porch \/ we can neither wish for nor recall,” writes Don McKay in \u003ci\u003eApparatus\u003c\/i\u003e. The poems in this collection home in on that place – those keenly desired places – where language will not reach. \u003ci\u003eApparatus\u003c\/i\u003e is Don McKay’s first collection of new poems since his 1991 award-winning \u003ci\u003eNight Field\u003c\/i\u003e. It is a passionate engagement with nature and a powerful critique of human assaults on wilderness which, for McKay, is more than unsubdued nature; it is whatever eludes the mind’s categories – the insoluble secret of life itself. To read McKay’s poems is to be in touch with the significant concerns of our time and all time. McKay is a poet of unmatched linguistic playfulness, with virtuoso flexibility of voice and an ability to shape-shift through forms, tones, and styles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom the Trade Paperback edition.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"McClelland \u0026amp; Stewart","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128251957488,"sku":"9781551996653","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781551996653_p0.jpg?v=1763751440","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781551996653","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
