{"product_id":"9781869405793","title":"Beauties of the Octagonal Pool","description":"\u003cp\u003eMaking unexpected connections, this book collects poems written from a variety of times, locations, and experiences—from the water frontage of Fiji, Fiordland, and the Mediterranean to the built history of Moscow and Berlin. Filled with a thoughtful musicality, a shambling romance, and a sense of humor, these witty and imaginative poems tell stories that range from a mechanical rat on Raoul Island to a black negligée and an ice-cream vendor in Moscow, and from a mayor and the Mistral in France to a new musical sound in New Zealand. Engaging and lively, this compilation highlights the persistent self-consciousness about the relationship between language and the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Auckland University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039541575920,"sku":"9781869405793","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781869405793_p0.jpg?v=1763601805","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781869405793","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
