{"product_id":"9781598532739","title":"May Swenson: Collected Poems (Library of America)","description":"In celebration of the centenary of May Swenson’s birth, The Library of America presents a one-volume edition of all of the poems that Swenson published in her lifetime—from her first collection \u003ci\u003eAnother Animal \u003c\/i\u003e(1954) to the innovative shaped poems of \u003ci\u003eIconographs \u003c\/i\u003e(1970) to her final work \u003ci\u003eIn Other Words \u003c\/i\u003e(1987)—as well as a selection of previously uncollected work. The collection reveals the sweeping compass of Swenson’s curiosity: nature poems display her keen observation of wildlife; exuberant and erotic love poems celebrate beauty and passion; place poems record her travels to the American Southwest, France, and Italy and her residence in New York City and Sea Cliff, Long Island; verse “analyses” investigate baseball, wave motion, the DNA molecule, bronco busting, James Bond movies, and the first walk on the moon. Swenson was an inveterate reviser: poems in earlier volumes were frequently reworked for inclusion in later volumes, such as \u003ci\u003eTo Mix with Time \u003c\/i\u003e(1963) and \u003ci\u003eNew and Selected Things Taking Place \u003c\/i\u003e(1978). While preserving the order of publication, this volume presents the author’s final or definitive version. Substantive textual variants and title changes are detailed in the notes to the volume.","brand":"Library of America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176610349296,"sku":"9781598532739","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781598532739_p0.jpg?v=1763815060","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781598532739","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
