{"product_id":"9781935218081","title":"The Circle Line","description":"\u003cbr\u003ePoetry. \"The figurative subtlety and range of these poems made this book an imaginative feast. Throughout, I had a sense that I was being presented the story of a life by means of a deeper language, as if Jorn Ake has figured out how to speak directly through the feelings that attach to actions, objects and memories. With a work this metaphorical, I look at what recurs--the desert and childhood, photography and music, violence on a personal and political scale--and there is an ongoing, loving nod to the artists who have shaped this poet's mind. I also sense that what drives his work is a desire to characterize the feeling of a time period, the later 20th century, with all its 'blindness\/flying moth-crazy about the light.' I cannot turn away from these poems. This is a fascinating book\"--Bob Hickok.","brand":"The Backwaters Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033630589168,"sku":"9781935218081","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781935218081_p0.jpg?v=1763655434","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781935218081","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
