{"product_id":"9781897142295","title":"What We're Left With","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe poems in Ben Murray' s debut collection, \u003ci\u003eWhat We' re Left With\u003c\/i\u003e, reflect on disconnection as a feature of contemporary urban experience. Murray' s poems tackle themes of isolation, loneliness and human separation from nature. Murray creates trademark images of surprising loneliness and suburban angst: sog-white mornings\/ of caffeinated mouths\/ mating Cheerios\/ O to empty O. The poet longs for mall-free days of sprawling languid under a pre-cancerous sun when we hurry up\/ and wait, to become men. Writing about climate change, the poet asks how long until hibernating bears\/ shake November from their sleep-under fur\/ and start snorting around for off-season\/ bargains. Capable of many different registers, Murray writes, in assumed voices, of grief and memory beyond his own immediate experience, something he describes as tapping into some larger collective autobiography. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brindle \u0026 Glass Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47064999952624,"sku":"9781897142295","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781897142295_p0.jpg?v=1763610956","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781897142295","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
