{"product_id":"the-eye-like-a-strange-balloon-poems-9780802141576","title":"The Eye Like a Strange Balloon: Poems","description":"The poems in The Eye Like a Strange Balloon find their seed in paintings, film, video, photographs, and collage, and the end results are something more than a sum of their parts. Beginning with a painting done in 2003, the poems move backwards in time to 1 BC, where an architectural fragment is painted on an architectural fragment, highlighting visual art's strange relationship between the image and the thing itself. The total effect is exhilarating--a wholly original, personal take on art history coupled with Bang's sly and elegant commentary on poetry's enduring subjects: Love, Death, Time and Desire. The recipient of numerous prizes and awards, Bang stands at the front of American poetry with this new work, asking more of the English language, and enticing and challenging the reader.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Jo Bang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.58w x 0.32d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802141576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/18\/2004 pg. 61\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/21\/2004 pg. 26\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2004 pg. 547\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/15\/2005 pg. 116\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2005","brand":"Grove Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40138385490035,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_8c9b80b3-a553-4ab7-9b41-efc5cd8f4a67.jpg?v=1654348126","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-eye-like-a-strange-balloon-poems-9780802141576","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
