{"product_id":"9781771314404","title":"Meditatio Placentae","description":"From yoghurt tubs to pop-up books to bobcats, from cement trucks to lost socks to the products of conception, Meditatio Placentae, Monty Reid's twelfth collection, is a book about unruly stuff. Stuff that functions but also stuff that exceeds, stuff that dreams. A gathering of short poems wrapped into longer sequences, this is a book that pays attention to the world, in all its dizzying forms.  The poems in Meditatio Placentae cluster around certain ideas, experiences, narratives; sometimes they cohere, sometimes they only assemble, but they are always at crossroads where people and objects collide. In these poems matter itself--including the placenta of the title poem--is vibrant, and argues for its rightful recognition.","brand":"Brick Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47150000505072,"sku":"9781771314404","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781771314404_p0.jpg?v=1763707912","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781771314404","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
