{"product_id":"love-an-index","title":"Love, an Index","description":"A man disappears. The woman who loves him is left scarred and haunted. In her fierce, one-of-a-kind debut, Rebecca Lindenberg tells the story?in verse?of her passionate relationship with Craig Arnold, a much-respected poet who disappeared in 2009 while hiking a volcano in Japan. Lindenberg’s billowing, I-contain-multitudes style lays bare the poet’s sadnesses, joys, and longings in poems that are lyric and narrative, at once plainspoken and musically elaborate.\n\nRegarding her role in Arnold’s story, Lindenberg writes with clear-eyed humility and endearing dignity: ?The girl with the ink-stained teeth \/ knows she’s famous \/ in a tiny, tragic way. \/ She’s not \/ daft, after all.” And then later, playfully, of her travels in Italy with the poet, her lover: ?The carabinieri \/ wanted to know if there were bears \/ in our part of America. Yes, we said, \/ many bears. Man-eating bears? Yes, of course, \/ many man-eating bears.” Every poem in this collection bursts with humor, pathos, verve?and an utterly unique, soulful voice.\n\nThis widely anticipated debut, already selected as a finalist for several prominent book awards, marks the first collection in the newly minted McSweeney’s Poetry Series. MPS is an imprint which seeks to publish a broad range of excellent new poetry collections in exquisitely designed hardcovers?poetry that’s useful and meaningful to anyone in any walk of life.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1936365790\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1936365790.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Lindenberg, Rebecca\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\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: Pages are clean with no markings.
