That place gives its name to Louise Gl ck's tenth collection: in a landscape turned irretrievably to winter, it is a gate or passageway that invites traffic between worlds while at the same time resisting their reconciliation. \u003ci\u003eAverno\u003c\/i\u003e is an extended lamentation, its long, restless poems no less spellbinding for being without conventional resoltution or consolation, no less ravishing for being savage, grief-stricken. What \u003ci\u003eAverno\u003c\/i\u003e provides is not a map to a point of arrival or departure, but a diagram of where we are, the harrowing, enduring present. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAverno\u003c\/i\u003e is a 2006 National Book Award Finalist for Poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gluck, Louise\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/06\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Straus and Giroux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374530747\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 79\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Louise Gluck","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33052808806475,"sku":"9780374530747","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_00fa6b20-bbcc-4d24-b7e5-699b76b60be0.jpg?v=1612230884","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/averno-poems-9780374530747","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
