With Paris as a backdrop, Cole, an award-winning American poet, explores with fresh and penetrating insight the nature of friendship and family, poetry and solitude, the self and freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCole writes of Paris, “For a time, I lived here, where the call of life is so strong. My soul was colored by it. Instead of worshiping a creator or man, I cared fully for myself, and felt not guilt and confessed nothing, and in this place, I wrote, I was nourished, and I grew.” Written under the tutelary spirit of Orpheus—mystic, oracular, entrancing—\u003ci\u003eOrphic Paris\u003c\/i\u003e is an intimate Paris journal and a literary commonplace book that is a touching, original, brilliant account of the city.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New York Review Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47049268461808,"sku":"9781681372181","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781681372181_p0.jpg?v=1763692556","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781681372181","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
