{"product_id":"a-treatise-on-stars","title":"A Treatise on Stars","description":"An ethereal new collection that is “visceral with intellection” (David Lau)\n\nWinner of the Bollingen Prize\nFinalist for the National Book Award\nFinalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry\nFinalist for the PEN Open Book Award\nFinalist for the Kingsley Tufts Prize A Treatise on Stars extends Mei-mei Berssenbrugge’s intensely phenomenological poetics to the fiery bodies in a “field of heaven…outside spacetime.” Long, lyrical lines map a geography of interconnected, interdimensional intelligence that exists in all places and sentient beings. These are poems of deep listening and patient waiting, open to the cosmic loom, the channeling of daily experience and conversation, gestalt and angels, dolphins and a star-visitor beneath a tree. Family, too, becomes a type of constellation, a thought “a form of organized light.” All of our sense are activated by Berssenbrugge’s radiant lines, giving us a poetry of keen perception grounded in the physical world, where “days fill with splendor, and earth offers its pristine beauty to an expanding present.”\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0811229386\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0811229386.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Berssenbrugge, Mei-Mei\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
