{"product_id":"rome-poems-9781631491412","title":"Rome: Poems","description":"Dorothea Lasky is one of the most talented American poets of her generation. With haunting lines that \"recall Frank O'Hara and Allen Ginsberg\" (\u003cem\u003eChicago Tribune\u003c\/em\u003e) and influences ranging from Drake to Catullus, Lasky fuses the ancient world with the fierceness and heartbreak of everyday life. With each new book, from the grand religiosity of \u003cem\u003eAWE\u003c\/em\u003e to the flat sadness and nihilism of \u003cem\u003eBlack Life\u003c\/em\u003e to the witchery of \u003cem\u003eThunderbird\u003c\/em\u003e, her poems keep gaining an increasingly robust readership and have influenced an entire generation of younger poets. In \u003cem\u003eROME\u003c\/em\u003e, Lasky finds herself in the arena of eternal longing and heartsick desire, confronting her ghosts and demons and proving she's \"one of the very best poets we've got\" (Maggie Nelson).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLasky, Dorothea:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Author of \u003cem\u003eThunderbird\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eBlack Life\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eAWE\u003c\/em\u003e, and editor of \u003cem\u003eOpen the Door: How to Excite Young People About Poetry\u003c\/em\u003e, the Missouri-born \u003cstrong\u003eDorothea Lasky\u003c\/strong\u003e is an assistant professor of poetry at Columbia University.
