{"product_id":"9781943826377","title":"Dancing in Eurynome's Shoes","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn James Mele’s \u003cem\u003eDancing in Eurynome’s Shoes\u003c\/em\u003e one finds poems of place, character, climate, and creatures. I love the maturity of these poems and how learned they are: no fretting, no self-indulgence, no flourishes for bravado’s sake, but an ever-returning consideration of the major questions, a passion for the telling detail, a chiseling skill at figuration of all sorts. In keeping with Eurynome’s being the mother of three graces whose qualities exemplify splendor, festivity, and rejoicing, this poet enacts his title: in the dispensations of his gaze; in his gracious, pacific, and capacious world view; in the musicality of his lines. Mele’s poems distill a lifetime of thinking about how words can go beyond indicating and toward embodying. It’s this distillation, and the skill he’s acquired, that makes \u003cem\u003eDancing in Eurynome’s Shoes\u003c\/em\u003e a rare collection: not just the poems of a dozen seasons, but of an entire lifetime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antrim House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057508499696,"sku":"9781943826377","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781943826377_p0.jpg?v=1763802579","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781943826377","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
