{"product_id":"9781681371832","title":"Drafts, Fragments, and Poems: The Complete Poetry","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe first appearance of this award-winning writer's work since the 1940s, this collection, which includes an introduction by John Ashbery, restores Joan Murray's striking poetry to its originally intended form.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen John Ashbery hailed Joan Murray as a major influence in an essay in 2003, her sole collection\u003ci\u003e Poems\u003c\/i\u003e,  had been out of print for decades. Joan Murray hit the literary scene  as a bright talent in American poetry just before her death of a heart  condition in 1942. She was only in her twenties. After her death, W.H.  Auden selected Murray for the 1946 Yale Younger Poets Prize. As she left  behind no definitive edition of her work, her Poems was compiled by  Grant Code, a close friend of Murray’s mother. Code heavily edited the  manuscript, often streamlining Murray’s raw lyricism, and left out  dozens of poems. It had originally been supposed that Murray’s original  manuscripts had been lost, but a trove of her writings miraculously  resurfaced in 2013. In \u003ci\u003eCollected Poems\u003c\/i\u003e, Farnoosh Fathi has gone  through all of Murray’s papers and reinstated her visionary lines,  while also recovering much previously unpublished verse. An heir to W.B.  Yeats, Walt Whitman, Hart Crane, and Laura Riding, Murray today, with  her vatic lullabies and mythic imagination, still belongs to the future.","brand":"New York Review Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47161581469936,"sku":"9781681371832","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781681371832_p0.jpg?v=1763692768","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781681371832","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
