{"product_id":"9781771311441","title":"Undone","description":"Shortlisted for the 2005 Atlantic Poetry Prize, the 2005 Dartmouth Book Award and the 2005 Acorn-Plantos Award for People's Poetry  Undone is a cornucopia of passionate poems arranged into three sections. \"Forgotten\" has mostly to do with the aftermath of a heart-rending breakup; \"Kindred\" features poems on fellow artists in poetry, music and painting (ranging from Georgia O'Keeffe to Snoopy, beagle-novelist); in \"Apprentice,\" leaving is transformed into celebration, poem after poem about fierce loving of a world that we will have to leave. In these hard-hitting, highly personal poems, lamentation is a key note. Crushing loneliness weighs heavily on the spirit. But Sue Goyette has ways of sharing pain with a compensating lift: wonderful flights of metaphor, language charged with verbal energy. \"Isn’t that our job,\" she asks, \"to coax out the light in the story?\" It's a job she takes to heart and performs brilliantly.  The poems in Undone have the amplitude proper to \"watching wide\" -- a discipline good for seeing shooting stars and, as this book illustrates, all other kinds of light in a darkness palpable but never enveloping, not when probed so truly and sung so beautifully.","brand":"Brick Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47152126525680,"sku":"9781771311441","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781771311441_p0.jpg?v=1763707352","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781771311441","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
