{"product_id":"9781597094986","title":"Vocabulary of Silence","description":"\u003cp\u003ePoet Veronica Golos has created a conundrum—a \u003ci\u003evocabulary of silence\u003c\/i\u003e that acts as a kind of Zen koan for the reader: a negative space, an echo chamber, a mirror. Witnessing from afar the continuing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan conducted by the country in which she lives, the poet also witnesses herself, and struggles to find words to carry the weight of her felt responsibility. Ms. Golos then empties her beautifully wrought poems into the vast silence, filling it with the names of the dead and the living.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Red Hen Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47045818548464,"sku":"9781597094986","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781597094986_p0.jpg?v=1763815317","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781597094986","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
