{"product_id":"runners-poems-9780865340220","title":"Runners: Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book by Gerald Hausman marks the author's third book of poems since \u003cem\u003eNew Marlboro State\u003c\/em\u003e which Gary Snyder called \"fine poems, clear and inside \/ outside of things.\" The theme of \u003cem\u003eRunners\u003c\/em\u003e is not the mere physical act of long-distance running, but the art of direction-finding in life. Using this as a metaphor the poet explores the heart of the four universal directions while running through the four compass points of the American landscape. Whether he is up north in a New England blizzard or jogging along the Mississippi, Gerald Hausman invests his work with that peculiar insight common to poets of place: scenes enchant by evoking permanence through a re-calling of history and the heart, legend and the mystery of the moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerald Hausman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sunstone Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 50\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.12d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780865340220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHausman, Gerald:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Richard Wilbur on Runners: Runners is full of such engaging poems as 'Porches, ' 'Wood for Winter, ' and 'Witnesses.' In other places such as 'The Fallen' or 'Goat Castle, Natchez, ' there is some deftly conveyed frisson. And then there are admirable poems ('Ravens, ' 'Heron and Trout, ' 'Ending Up in Horse Creek Canyon') which are informed by a large and deep sense of participation in the whole of life. Gerald Hausman has put together a strong, subtle and varied collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sunstone Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40223130779763,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":16.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_c05e4180-d98a-4815-9c21-57482017db09.jpg?v=1656682849","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/runners-poems-9780865340220","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
