{"product_id":"black-cat-bone-poems","title":"Black Cat Bone: Poems","description":"Winner of both the T. S. Eliot Prize and the Forward Prize, Black Cat Bone is the first American publication of the poetry of John Burnside\n\nBefore the songs I sang there were the songs\nthey came from, patent shreds\nof Babel, and the secret\nNineveh of back rooms in the dark.\n\nHour after hour\nthe night trains blundered through\nfrom towns so far away and innocent\nthat everything I knew seemed fictional:\n―from \"Death Room Blues\"\n\nJohn Burnside's Black Cat Bone is full of poems of thwarted love and disappointment, raw desire, the stalking beast. One sequence tells of an obsessive lover coming to grief in echoes of the old murder ballads, and another longer poem describes a hunter losing himself in the woods while pursuing an unknown and possibly unknowable quarry. Black Cat Bone introduces American readers to one of the best poets writing across the Atlantic.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1555977146\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1555977146.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Burnside, John\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.
