{"product_id":"9781615780341","title":"Invasions: New Poems","description":"In his second collection of poems, Adam Kirsch examines the world we live in now, a world in which the dangers of history have invaded the pleasures of private life. His connected poems use traditional forms to create a free, contemporary music amidst the omens of the post-September 11 world. Mr. Kirsch is at home with all the strange juxtapositions of our culture: he can celebrate 'the paradisal sighs' of Jane Birkin and still hear the 'angelic harmonies' of Handel's Messiah; he can observe military jets trailing 'stripes of smoke' and find the quiet of a synagogue in Queens. Invasions is a moving and highly personal collection, Mr. Kirsch's exploration of what he calls, with fear and hope, 'the magically real.'","brand":"Dee, Ivan R.
