{"product_id":"out-of-speech-poems-9780807167656","title":"Out of Speech: Poems","description":"Grounded in technical mastery, the poems in \u003ci\u003eOut of Speech\u003c\/i\u003e address issues both universal and timely. In this series of ekphrastic works, Adam Vines explores themes as varied as exile, family, disease, desire, and isolation through an array of twentieth- and twenty-first century painters, including Picasso, Hopper, Rothko, de Kooning, Warhol, Lichtenstein, and Artschwager. He also goes within and beyond these works of art to explore characters set in the present-day museums, from a bored docent to a misinformed \"explainer\" of an artwork's meaning. Combining these two views--one that looks at the painting and another that looks around it--his poems affirm the artist's insights into the complexity of being human.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam Vines\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LSU Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/21\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 78\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.19d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807167656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdam Vines is an assistant professor of English at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and editor of \u003ci\u003eBirmingham Poetry Review. \u003c\/i\u003eHe is also the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Coal Life\u003c\/i\u003e and coauthor of \u003ci\u003eDay Kink\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAccording to Discretion.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LSU Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939209937011,"sku":"9.78081E+12","price":22.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_f07eb365-6dbf-4706-bac5-41e9505c59d1.jpg?v=1758879152","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/out-of-speech-poems-9780807167656","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
