{"product_id":"9781935514527","title":"Red Has No Reason","description":"A marvelous intelligence, mindful and clear-eyed, governs the inscape of these poems where \"strangeness\/is so usual nothing's strange\" - nor does that commanding presence hesitate a moment before welcoming magicians, who \"train as pole-vaulters do - tedious, lonely practice\/ broken by a moment's flight.\" It is such flights we witness here, increasingly aware once again of a sum greater than its parts, of moments seemingly disparate that gradually become a mosaic catching the range of a whole life, richly lived and examined with meticulous candor. \u003cp\u003eWilliam Pitt Root, poetry editor of CutThroat: A Journal \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof the Arts, and author of eleven collections of poems \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoAnne Growney is a mathematician and a poet - a striking combination. Her poems belie the old saws about the two cultures. Red Has No Reason shows us how we can be precise and intuitive, heady and heartful. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJan Heller Levi, poet, author of Skyspeak, editor of \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Muriel Rukeyser Reader\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed Has No Reason is a collection that takes the reader into a world with a kaleidoscope view - one that shifts, and dazzles and mystifies, despite best efforts to impose order. Her pairing of this red, raw stuff of life with mathematical precision creates a poetry collection to rival the mystical allure of the aurora. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJerry Wemple, poet, author of The Civil War in Baltimore\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand You Can See It from Here, co-editor of Common \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWealth: Contemporary Poets on Pennsylvania, editor of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWatershed: the Journal of the Susquehanna\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plain View Press, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47044190109936,"sku":"9781935514527","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781935514527_p0.jpg?v=1763658775","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781935514527","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
