{"product_id":"9781932559965","title":"These Beautiful Limits","description":"\u003cbr\u003ePoetry. The poems in THESE BEAUTIFUL LIMITS delight in the transparency-and the obliquity-of language. Invested with a \"jocoserious\" sensibility, they explore the borders of language to see the ways in which language defines identity--not merely the language of meditation and philosophical inquiry, but also the quotidian language of everyday life that hovers on the edge of forgetfulness. The collection, which culminates in a long poem, \"Hemp Quoits,\" takes as its premise the assumption that the borders of identity are permeable with all the languages the self encounters on a daily basis. The poems value mobility and freedom, yet they recognize that we transact our affairs within borders--the body, the mind, the poem, the sentence, the phrase, the word.","brand":"Parlor Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47054717845744,"sku":"9781932559965","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781932559965_p0.jpg?v=1763639810","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781932559965","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
