It is also an invitation to the reader to enter a specifically American poetry of the here-and-now. The accomplishment of \u003cem\u003eStrange Country \u003c\/em\u003ebegins with the exact measure of its line and its discovered idiom in the face of what may well be termed the present contradictions of a strange country. What sustains that accomplishment is a poet's attention to a 'wide-open polyphony' equal to the multiple realities of its subject.\" -- Kelvin Corcoran\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.19 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 23, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51751095370016,"sku":"9781848614826","price":20.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/346f0080171caf415c25039395a3c093.webp?v=1779964136","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/strange-country-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
