{"product_id":"9781571319333","title":"Love's Last Number: Poems","description":"From celebrated poet Christopher Howell, \u003cem\u003eLove’s Last Number\u003c\/em\u003e is a series of musings on time’s arrow: on both the relentless march that divides each moment into past, present, and future — before and after — and the ultimately porous and recursive nature of time itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA soldier remembers limes and curious children in Portugal. Refugees cross a dangerous land, and find each other in love. Boy scouts play war in devastating ways, a child listens to a baseball game in a more innocent time. In this multiplicity of voices and tones, the collection reflects on what we, as humans, do about memory, love, grief, war, and the search for meaning. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn its sinuous sequences, \u003cem\u003eLove’s Last Number\u003c\/em\u003e insists that life — and history — are a continuing crisis of faith, imagination, consciousness, and moral clarity. And yet these poems, like existence itself, offer moments of transcendent joy and sudden hilarity: laughter against the darkness.","brand":"Milkweed Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157152350448,"sku":"9781571319333","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781571319333_p0.jpg?v=1763766812","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781571319333","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
