{"product_id":"9781571314796","title":"Augury","description":"From celebrated poet Eric Pankey, a collection exploring the presence of the divine in the seemingly ordinary.\u003cp\u003eThe ancient Romans practiced augury, reading omens in bird's flight patterns. In the poems of \u003ci\u003eAugury\u003c\/i\u003e, revelation is found in nature's smallest details: a lizard's quick movements, a tree scarred by lighting, the white curve of a snail's shell. Here the sensory world and the imagined one collide in unexpected and wonderful ways, as Pankey scrutinizes the physical for meaning, and that meaning for truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith uncommon grace, each of Pankey's precise lyrics advances our shared ontological questions and expresses our deepest contradictions. In a world of mystery, should we focus on finding meaning or creating it? How can the known—and the unknown— be captured in language?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAugury\u003c\/i\u003e is a masterful and magical collection from a poet of stirring intelligence, \"a book of stones unstitched from the wolf's belly.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Milkweed Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47054539292912,"sku":"9781571314796","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781571314796_p0.jpg?v=1763768298","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781571314796","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
